The International Space Station, with a crew of five on board, is seen in this 10-second exhibit on Comet NEOWISE on Saturday, July 18, 2020 from Keys Gap, West Virginia.
The comet was discovered by POTThe NEOWISE Wide Field Infrared Recognition Explorer for Near-Earth Objects on March 27. Since then, the comet, called Comet C / 2020 F3 NEOWISE and nicknamed Comet NEOWISE, has been discovered by several NASA spacecraft, including the Parker solar probe, NASA’s Solar and Earth Relations Observatory, the Solar Observatory and ESA / NASA Heliosphere and astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
