COSMIC MESSAGE

Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997 surpassed the brightness of the Great Comet of 1996 and almost every star in the sky. This photograph captures its brilliance about two weeks before its maximum light. Visible from the Northern Hemisphere, it could be seen both after sunset and before sunrise. Its position north of Earth's orbital plane made it easily observable.
