A photographer says he feels “very lucky” to have captured Comet C/2025 A6 as it appeared over the Lancaster bomber sculpture in Norton Disney.
Also known as Comet Lemmon, it was first detected in January by stargazers at the Mount Lemmon Survey in the US.
Steve Fearn, 52, from Lincolnshire, said it was “quite a buzz, capturing something so unique” as he pictured it over the life-size sculpture of the bomber, titled On Freedom’s Wings, which honours RAF crews of World War Two.
The image also shows a grey light going across the sky, which he said he believed was fuel from a Space X rocket.
