Comet Between Fireworks and Lightning

COSMIC MESSAGE
In January 2007, skywatchers in Perth, Australia, saw Comet McNaught through the clouds. Fireworks for Australia Day celebrations lit up the nearby sky. Lightning from a distant thunderstorm flashed on the far right. The comet was bright enough to be visible even with these other light sources.
