Here are your amazing images of Comet Neowise as it travelled over the skies of the Warwick district

Here are some amazing images of Comet Neowise as it travelled over the skies of the Warwick district.

Photographer Carl Gallagher, of Light by Night Photography, captured these images yesterday (Sunday July 12) of the comet over Kenilworth Castle, Chesterton Windmill and Leamington.

He said: "Neowise is a long period comet which only visits us once every 6,766 years, so it really is a once in a lifetime event!

"The last time we had a bright comet in the northern hemisphere was in 1997 when comet Hale-Bopp visited us.

"You can see Neowise low in the northeast after midnight and through to dawn."

"The last time it visited us the pyramids hadn’t been built!"

17-year-old Edward Lockley, an A level photography at Southam College, also caught the comet on camera last night from his home in Harbury.

Neowise was discovered in late March and became one of the few comets in the 21st century that can be seen with the naked eye as it approached the sun.

The comet was discovered by NASA in March by the NEOWISE space telescope and can be seen millions of miles away from Earth, thanks to its huge trail of dust and ice.

The comet is heading past Earth and will be near enough to allow people to spot it, with its closest approach expected on July 23.

Even at its closest distance, it will still be around 64 million miles, or 103 million kilometres, away.
