A comet has been captured on digital camera streaking across the skies about Stonehenge.

Comet Neowise has been noticed by stargazers throughout the Uk and around the entire world as it heads past Earth.

It was found out in late March and turned a single of the several comets in the 21st century that can be observed with the naked eye as it approached the solar.

The comet will be closest to the Earth on 23 July but will however be about 64 million miles (103 million km) away.

Jeff Overs, who travelled to Stonehenge in Wiltshire to photograph the comet, explained the moment as “astonishing”.

“It was great problems, clear and crisp and the comet was proper over the stones,” he stated.

“You can see it with the naked eye but it took me by surprise It did seem amazing. I will never see one more comet like that in my life time.”

The interplanetary iceberg will be obvious throughout July in the northern hemisphere, moving in a westerly path across the sky.

From the middle of the thirty day period it will be obvious low in the sky towards the north, all over the evening.

It will then head out of sight as it travels back to the outer photo voltaic system.
