Comet Neowise, seen from the rooftop of Fronczak Hall at around 4:30 a.m. on July 12. Cosmologist Will Kinney, professor of physics, captured this photograph. ”These things are quite unusual and an extraordinarily beautiful phenomenon,” he told Channel 7 in a recent interview, noting that Neowise’s “next closest approach to the sun will be at 3:31 p.m. on June 24 in the year 8786.”
