The Stonehenge, the Swiss Alps, and even in outer space, Comet NEOWISE has been spotted blazing across the sky all over the world. Skygazers worldwide have their cameras trained to comets streaks across the planet with its two brightly coloured tails of gas and dust.

Satellite data suggests that the comet could even have three tails with a new tail spewing sulphur in the direction of the Sun making it difficult to spot from Earth.
