Explanation:
Seen from the
Pik Terskol Observatory in the
northern Caucasus mountains,
comet Hale-Bopp and the bright
stars of
the constellation Perseus
hang above the snowy,
moon-lit landscape.
Although it reminds
Northern Hemisphere dwellers of an idyllic
Winter scene,
this picture was actually recorded in the spring -
on April 13th of this year.
Seasons Greetings and Best Wishes from
APOD!
