APOD: 2020 August 3 – Comet NEOWISE over Vikos Gorge

Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Comet NEOWISE over Vikos Gorge." The Voidomatis River carved the Vikos Gorge in the Pindus Mountains of northern Greece. The gorge provides the perfect stage for Comet NEOWISE, seen in this image taken two weeks ago. Vikos is listed as the world's "deepest relative to its width" gorge by the Guinness Book of Records, with depths ranging from 120 to 490 meters (~1,600 feet).
