This view to the northwest
after sunset includes a unique array of celestial objects. On the right is Comet Hale-Bopp, and on
the left is the overexposed crescent Moon, perfectly centered within the
V-shaped Hyades cluster, which forms the horns of Taurus, the bull. In the center, dropping just below the
treetops, are the Pleiades. To top
it off, it appears that a short but bright meteor streaked through the sky
above the comet during this exposure.
Image details: A short exposure on Kodak Gold 1000 film,
taken with a Canon camera and a 50-mm.
