SOLON, MAINE - JULY 15, 2020
Comet NEOWISE hangs like an ornament in the northwest sky at Robbins Hill Scenic Overlook on Old Canada Road in Solon on Wednesday, July 15, 2020. Comet NEOWISE was detected on March 27th of this year by NASA'a Near Earth Orbit Wide-Infrared Exploerer, a space craft launched in December 2009, hence it's name. The visitor from the outer reaches of the solar system was visible after sunset in the northwest night sky just below the Big Dipper or Ursa Major but is now waning as it travels towards the outer reaches once again.
