“Finding NEOWISE” is copyrighted by Tom Masterson. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIf you can find the Big Dipper, you can locate Comet NEOWISE in the evening sky. After sunset, look for the comet below the Dipper's bowl and above the northwestern horizon. It appears as a fuzzy 'star' with a tail, though usually not as long as in this clear snapshot from Los Padres National Forest on July 16.
