Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

2024-10-15 By Roger Edwards

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

A pretty comet with a unique mouthful of a name appeared in the sky for several mornings, then evenings, in fall 2024, barely visible to the naked eye but easily picked up in cameras.   This was a post-sunset view between altostratus pieces, and just above a weakening contrail.  Even with the comet’s being many millions of miles away, the perspective gives an illusion of its dodging clouds to be seen.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
