Stunning long-exposure photograph of Comet Hale-Bopp streaking across a star-filled night sky above rock formations. Taken in Joshua Tree National Forest, California in April 1997, the image captures the comet's vibrant tail and the detail of the night sky. A flashlight was used to illuminate the foreground rocks.
