Comet Hale-Bopp Over Val Parola Pass
Explanation:
Comet Hale-Bopp
became much brighter than any surrounding stars. It was seen even over
bright city lights
. Out away from city lights, however, it put on quite a
spectacular show
. Here
Comet Hale-Bopp was photographed
above Val Parola Pass in the
Dolomite mountains
surrounding
Cortina d'Ampezzo
,
Italy
.
Comet Hale-Bopp
's blue
ion tail
was created when fast moving particles from the
solar wind
struck expelled
ions
from the
comet's nucleus
. The white
dust tail
is composed of larger particles of
dust
and ice expelled by the nucleus that orbit behind the
comet
. Observations showed that
Comet Hale-Bopp
's nucleus spins about once every 12 hours.
