What a beautiful page! I just love the colors you've chosen for the stars and the starry background sets them up just right. The little flair gave me a chuckle - so apropos. My son would like this so much. He also enjoys comets and starry nights and visible planets and the like - obviously I am not too familiar with it all myself - but whenever I see such celestial sights as you've shown here, I think of him and I think it's wonderful he shares it with his sons.

Thanks @Lillyia

The comet continues to be visible for the remainder of the month!

Love that photo! And I love your cluster of stars

@michelepixels Really??! I didn't know comets could do that - hang around like that. I guess I am thinking of shooting stars. So, is the comet named neowise? I will ask my son about whether he has seen it or not.

@Lillyia Yep! Neowise is the comet's name. It's 64 million miles away, so from our perspective it takes a while to pass our field of vision. I'm seeing photos of it every day on Facebook. A google search would work too, of course. Oh! I just found this, which includes pictures and video from the ISS on July 5.

@michelepixels Oh, it takes my breath away! That video is amazing. I can hardly wait to share this with my son, and of course you know what he will say, "Yeah, Mom, I know about that. I've been watching it". Hahaha. Thank you Michele. I am going to look for it in the sky tonight too.
