The Milky Way. A comet. A misting waterfall. And a rainbow. All in one photo.

1. What about the contrail in the back,

near the horizon?

2. Thanks. I'll move this discussion over to the Conspiracy forum to discuss chemtrails

Good catch.

6. I wasn't about to use "that word".

I like my status on DU as it is

3. The picture is nice, but that can't be a comet. The tail always faces away from the sun.

In order to have a rainbow in the waterfall, the sun would have to be behind the camera at about 20 degrees above the rear horizon, so the comet tail would be short if visible at all. I think it's just a plane like the one over the ridge. But it simply can't be a comet. It also looks like the recent Milky Way 24.6GB photo was Photoshopped into the background. It looks oddly familiar, and it isn't in the right place or scale anyway. Still, it's a nice picture. I know, I'm a geek. I printed it out.

4. Right, so maybe it's a meteor or a shooting star. But then "shoomilkyfallbow" sounds stupid.

5. "shamookylyfallbow"? Okay, I can see that. Never mind.

Still, it's a nice image.
