The famous photo of a comet between fireworks and lightning. On January 26, 2007, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught. The image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework. (photo by Antti Kemppainen)
