Comet Puyehue
image by Maurice Collins
A bright new comet, with a huge halo, was imaged quite near the Earth. In fact, it was at the Moon's orbit. Actually it was the Moon itself, swaddled in a globe-circling haze of volcanic ash and gas. From Maurice's backyard in New Zealand the sky was noticeably hazy, with each bright object surrounded by a halo like a bright nimbus around a fresh impact crater. The volcanao was more than a half a world away - Chuck Wood
