In late twilight sky, the faint Pan-STARRS comet lines up near a very newly waxing crescent moon, the shaded side nicely bathed in earthshine, all behind assorted layers of smoke from several wildfires burning across portions of Oklahoma, reddened before the horizon’s twilight glow. The comet was unusual enough, but the combination of all these elements was downright bizarre, as seen from high atop the National Weather Center.
