Comet Hale Bopp over Carefree Highway, Arizona

Comet Hale Bopp is believed to contain materials from the time when the solar system was formed 4.5 billion years ago - due to their distance from the sun keeping the frozen gases preserved. There are now houses here on this stretch of Carefree Highway, so for many reasons, this photo will never be able to be taken again and the comet won‘t return until the year 4380
