   Explanation: This sight was worth getting out of bed early. [4]Comet
   C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) has been rising before dawn during the past week to
   the [5]delight of northern sky enthusiasts awake that early. Up before
   sunrise, the featured photographer was able to capture in dramatic
   fashion one of the few comets visible to the unaided eye this century,
   an inner-[6]Solar System intruder that might become known as the
   [7]Great Comet of 2020. The [8]resulting video details Comet NEOWISE
   from [9]Italy rising over the [10]Adriatic Sea. The [11]time-lapse
   video combines over 240 images taken over 30 minutes. [12]The comet is
   seen rising through a foreground of bright and undulating
   [13]noctilucent clouds, and before a background of distant stars.
   [14]Comet NEOWISE has remained unexpectedly bright, so far, with its
   ion and dust tails [15]found to emanate from a [16]nucleus spanning
   about five kilometers across. Fortunately, starting tonight, northern
   observers with a clear and dark northwestern horizon should be able to
   [17]see the sun-reflecting interplanetary snowball just after sunset.
