Comet Neowise was visible about 1½ hours before sunrise Sunday morning in the northeastern sky. This photo was taken southwest of Bayfield by Howard Rowe, using a 4-second time exposure, which makes the comet appear brighter than it would appear with the naked eye. The lights below are from the town of Bayfield. In the weeks ahead, Comet Neowise will shift from an early morning object to one that is visible just after sunset in the evening.
