   Explanation: This sight was worth getting out of bed early. Two years
   ago this month, [4]Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) rose before dawn to the
   [5]delight of northern sky enthusiasts awake that early. Up before
   sunrise on July 8th, the featured photographer was able to capture in
   dramatic fashion one of the few comets [6]visible to the unaided eye
   this century, an inner-[7]Solar System intruder that has become known
   as the [8]Great Comet of 2020. The [9]resulting video detailed Comet
   NEOWISE from [10]Italy rising over the [11]Adriatic Sea. The
   [12]time-lapse video combines over 240 images taken over 30 minutes.
   [13]The comet was seen rising through a foreground of bright and
   undulating [14]noctilucent clouds, and before a background of distant
   stars. [15]Comet NEOWISE remained unexpectedly bright until 2020
   August, with its [16]ion and dust tails [17]found to emanate from a
   [18]nucleus spanning about five kilometers across.
