Description
Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE setting in the evening skies over the Mauna Kea Observatories. From right to left are CFHT, Gemini North, UH88, UKIRT, and Subaru observatories. The bright glow of city lights from Honolulu can be seen over the horizon behind Subaru. Notice how the surface brightness of the city lights is comparable to all but the brightest parts of the dust tail, and much brighter than the ion tail.
