A breathtaking comet sighting from Wales! 🎇 Stargazer and photographer Daniel Sands struck celestial gold right from his own back garden in Llangynidr, Powys. Using advanced photography techniques, Daniel brilliantly captured Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) as it dazzled across the autumn sky above the UK. 🌌✨
“I was beyond excited,” Daniel shared, thrilled with his unexpected glimpse of the comet in between the clouds. Working through the intricate details of dark sky photography, he combined ten different exposures to showcase this spectacular cosmic visitor. 🚀🔭
Comet Lemmon, discovered in January 2025 by astronomers at the Mount Lemmon Survey in Arizona, mostly resides beyond Neptune in the outer Solar System. This icy, dusty wanderer lights up as it travels closer to the sun, releasing a mesmerising tail of gas and dust. ☄️
For all you space enthusiasts, take a moment to look up and enjoy the shimmering beauty of the night sky. There’s magic happening up there! 🌠
