Comet Hyakutake and a Cactus
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Comet Hyakutake was photographed on March 27 in Arizona, with a cactus in the foreground and Polaris visible. Today, May 1, the comet reaches its closest point to the Sun, making it intrinsically brightest. However, its increased distance from Earth means it will appear less bright than it did during its close approach in late March.
