Description

The 1997 Great Comet was the Hale-Bopp comet. Discovered visually two years before when still was away of Jupiter orbit, and showing a huge and active nucleus with a diameter of 70 kilometers. The comet continued increasing your brightness while it was approaching, reaching be observed at naked eye even into cities.

This image have been remasterized and processed digitally starting from original negatives those I took when the comet reached your bigger brightness and development of its dust (white) and gas (blue) tails. Some flash shots before close the shutter served for lighting part of landscape.
