Neowise over the Rockies

Gunbarrel Estates photographer Tim Benko captured Comet Neowise from the top of Rocky Mountain National Park on Trail Ridge Road Thursday, July 24. Discovered on March 24, Neowise, or C/2020 F3, stands for near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. With an orbital period of 6,766 years, this was a once in a lifetime photograph.
