Weekend ice clouds over the Tucson in the U.S. state of Arizona forced Eliot Herman to fear that he will not be able to see the comet Virtanen. Although watching the space visitor, he had succeeded, he has witnessed other strange phenomenon.
When the sun began to sink beyond the horizon, in the cold desert air appeared a glowing yellow pillar. Ice crystals in the form of plates, extending from Cirrus clouds caught the rays of the setting sun and placed them in a vertical line, forming a sun column.
"It was a great consolation and made the end of the day, special, — says Herman. — Saguaro cactus in the foreground has given the picture of realism and expression."
The comet Virtanen 16 Dec flew past Earth at a distance of just 11.5 million miles — one of the closest cometary approaches to the Earth during the entire space age.
