Glimpse of Comet Neowise

The help of long exposure photography late Friday allows a glimpse of comet NEOWISE, named for NASA’s Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission, from a vantage point atop Vulcan Mountain, Route 54, between Tamaqua and Mahanoy City. The comet is expected to disappear into deep space, not to be seen again for 6,800 years. DONALD R. SERFASS/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
