Comet Bradfield

I thought this beautiful picture of comet Bradfield deserved a wider viewing. It is one of 3 comets visible to the naked eye during April and May of 2004; a fairly unusual occurence. More information on these naked eye comets is available in this National Geographic article.

Click on either image to view a larger version. SpaceWeather.com has more information and additional photos. Unfortunately, their archives don’t have individual links, so you’ll have to goto their main page and then look at the archive for the 27th of April, 2004.

Thanks to Doc for the initial link.
