Comet Neowise streaks over Stonehenge night sky

A comet has been captured on camera streaking across the skies over Stonehenge.

It was discovered in late March and as it approached the sun it became one of the few comets in the 21st century that can be seen with the naked eye.Image copyrightNeowise is around 400 times farther away than the moon, but can still be seen with the naked eye

are comets susposed to be bad luck

Stax1970 A streaking comet? Great balls of fire?

The government don't seemed concerned about anything, so long as they can get a holiday.

That's not a good Oman

Amazing photo

Comet's don't streak across the sky.

BBCWorld Meteorite,

How long before it hits Stonehenge?

cosmic.

It’s a sign from above. Johnson must go.

This headline is misleading. Its a static comet. Its going to be there until August.

BBCWorld Love to see Comet.

Quite the badass

Comets do not streak across the sky. They take many weeks and months to move through the constellations gradually fading as they get further and further away.

Lashesxx Weren't comets a bad omen to ancient brits?

Garbage journalism, comets do not streak across our skies. Please explain sensibly you are meant to be better than this.

I’ll be looking out tonight (if I can stay awake that long!)

BBCWorld Imagine being there and watching this happen!

If i was a Comet caught streaking, especially in the night, i would definitely be avoiding the press.🛰

Stonehenge the most disappointing historic site globally - dominos not stones!

Missed AGAIN. Someday.

BBCWorld You'd figure with everything else going on this year in the U.S. that the comet would redirect course and just kill us already

Nah. Just a MIRV?
