Stargazing

Day 195/366
Weather conditions were favorable for us to view the comet Neowise for two nights in a row. Last night, the comet was much lower on the horizon and harder to see with the naked eye. We took several long-exposure pictures and were amazed at how clearly you could view the comet in the images. We decided to return to Brigham Park tonight and see if we could view it again, this time coming prepared with binoculars and more camera equipment. We arrived earlier and it took a little time, but we were able to view it again. The comet was much higher in the sky and the tail appeared longer. The first night, Enavi really struggled to see it (mostly because she wasn't wearing her glasses) but tonight she was able to see it clearly through the binoculars. Such a fun and exciting treat to see and share with our family, and the comet was just astounding. God's creation is truly amazing!
