In July I attempted to fix a broken laptop using another broken laptop, and ended up with two broken laptops. I also found a recipe that I like for Millionnaire's Shortbread, tried tempeh for the first time, and had homegrown courgette for the first time too. I also watched through Sense8. On my third Jovian birthday, I spotted and photographed Comet NEOWISE from my back garden.Comet NEOWISE
It actually seems like I may have been a week off with my calculation of my third Jovian birthday, but Jupiter's days are also only 10 hours long so it's not like it perfectly lines up with an Earth day anyway. My next futher-out-than-Earth birthday is my 19th Martian, on 22th September.
Anyway, Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was visiting, so I decided to stay up and see if it would be visible in suburbia. The previous comet I'd seen, Comet 46P/Wirtanen, was just barely visible from the dark skies of Dartmoor, so I was quite surprised I could actually see Neowise after letting my eyes take some time to adjust. My camera also managed to capture its tail.
ENHANCE:
(My tweets on the comet.)
