Title:
A Hale-Bopp Holiday
Explanation:
Seen from the Pik Terskol Observatory [ http://www.mpae.gwd…] in the northern Caucasus mountains, comet Hale-Bopp [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] and the bright stars of the constellation Perseus [ http://www.astro.wi…constellations/Perse us.html ] hang above the snowy, moon-lit landscape [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…]. Although it reminds Northern Hemisphere [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] dwellers of an idyllic Winter [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] scene, this picture was actually recorded [ http://www.astro.un…] in the spring - on April 13th of this year. Seasons Greetings [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…] and Best Wishes from APOD [ http://antwrp.gsfc.…]!
