Pictured above is the comet McNaught. It has been the most cooperative comet regarding photography in the recent years so there are many great pictures. It made an impression in early 2007 when the comet was seen having an extra long dust tail, something abnormal. Here it is shown above Chile, where the bright comet takes up the entire picture. It is one of the few comets that one is able to track with the naked eye because of its especially long tail. It is one of the brightest comets ever seen by astronomers and will continue to be visible later in the year and also in the future.
