Comet McNaught has left the sun behind but it isn’t through with the inner solar system yet, and although it’s no longer fully visible in the northern hemisphere, a part of it can still be seen low on the western horizon: the comet’s extravagant tail, according to Space Weather:
"Even experienced astronomers say they’ve never seen anything quite like it. McNaught’s tail materializes at sunset in the southern hemisphere and is visible to the unaided eye as a majestic fan of pale streamers…but its tail sweeps all the way back into northern skies. People in California, Colorado and Hawaii have seen it peeking above the western horizon about an hour after sunset. This ‘northern tail’ is faint but pretty, and resembles a pale aurora borealis. (Dark skies are absolutely required.)"
