Would it be darker since the sun is behind it?   Per Johansson replies: "Thanks for Your comment, Dave! Well, the darkness also may mean that it’s night, and that the clouds and landscape are lit up by the comet." | |

Per Johansson replies: "Thank You John! When I went out to photograph the landscape and the "comet", I think I had a very large one in my mind, but I was unable to find the distant horizon I wanted in my neighbourhood, so I had to settle for this background. I’ll have to leave the size of the comet to the beholder..." | |
