Stunning.
Australians are truly a blessed people.
This time of the year, I really hate blessed people.
Amazing image!
An APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day) from 20 Jun 06. The description helps to explain what you are seeing:
“Sometimes the sky itself is the best show in town. On January 26, 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 photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes. Comet McNaught continues to move out from the Sun and dim, but should remain visible in southern skies with binoculars through the end of this month. The above image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework.”
If you go to APOD and put in June 20th you will not get this photo. I tried. I did however discover the correct date of Feb 05 2007.

#4: Ah, people… Did you try to click on the image which, oddly, takes you right to the APOD page???
#7 A Meteorite ? where did you read that then, it was Comet McNaught, which was quite pronounced in the southern skies this time last year. You couldn’t go out without seeing it. ( at night time that was)
#6 I don’t believe it originally redirected. It might have but I think someone corrected it.
[Nope, it did when I first posted it. — UD]
Thanks MacBandit! I just read the date off the APOD index; didn’t think the link would fit.
