Sometimes the sky itself is the best show in town. On January 26, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught. The photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes. Comet McNaught continues to move out from the Sun and dim, but should remain visible in southern skies with binoculars through the end of this month. The above image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework. click on pic for larger image

This is a really cool photograph. Visit the site to see it in all its glory. From the page: "Comet Between Fireworks and Lightning Credit & Copyright: Antti Kemppainen Explanation: Sometimes the sky itself is the best show in town.

This is quite possibly the coolest picture I've ever seen in my entire life. Ever.

In fact, I like it so much I'm using it as my desktop background.

A panoramic photograph that shows a little of everything. I can definitely say that sitting for tens of minutes studying this astonishing photograph is possible. A fireworks display, a coming thunderstorm, and a comet to boot all seen from a beach crowded with people. Great!
