July - Comet NEOWISE visits ESO in Germany

Comet C/2020 F3, nicknamed NEOWISE, crosses the skies over the ESO Supernova and ESO Headquarters in Garching, Germany on 8 July 2020, on its journey back to the outer reaches of the Solar System, after having its closest encounter with our Sun on 3 July 2020.

This rare treat was also accompanied by another nighttime phenomenon: the very unusual noctilucent clouds — shiny, icy clouds that look remarkably like water ripples in the night sky.
