Composite image of Halleys Comet & Mauna Kea
Halleys Comet over Hawaii. Composite image depicting the passage of Comet Halley as seen from the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The image of the comet was made from New Zealand on April 7 1986, the comet being the bright diffuse feature toward lower left. The telescope domes on Mauna Kea were photographed on 10 July 1991. The excessive red colour was due to volcanic ash in the upper atmosphere following the eruption of Mount Pinatubo, Philippines

EDITORS COMMENTS
This composite image showcases the ethereal beauty of Halleys Comet as it gracefully passes over the majestic landscape of Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The photograph, a harmonious blend of two separate moments in time, captures the essence of astronomical wonder and natural splendor. The main focus of the image is on Halleys Comet itself, a luminous celestial body that shines brightly against the dark expanse of space. Taken from New Zealand on April 7th, 1986, this particular view reveals the comet's distinct diffuse feature towards the lower left corner. Its graceful presence adds an otherworldly touch to an already breathtaking scene. In contrast to the celestial spectacle above, our gaze is drawn downwards to Mauna Kea's summit where several telescope domes stand tall and proud. Photographed on July 10th, 1991, these structures symbolize humanity's tireless pursuit of knowledge and understanding in astronomy. Adding a unique twist to this composition is the excessive red coloration caused by volcanic ash in Earth's upper atmosphere following Mount Pinatubo's eruption in Philippines. This unexpected phenomenon lends an eerie yet mesmerizing hue to both sky and land below. Through this extraordinary print by Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of our place within the vast cosmos but also our ability to capture its wonders through scientific exploration and observation. It serves as a testament to mankind's insatiable curiosity about what lies beyond our own planet - an eternal quest for knowledge that continues
