Item Description
The winner of this package will receive this framed astrograph of "The Comet Hale-Bopp Over Red Rock" by John Mowbray.
FRAMED ASTROGRAPH OF THE COMET HALE-BOPP OVER RED ROCK
In 1997 the Comet Hale-Bopp was observed by John Mowbray high above the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area as it was traveling at 43,000 miles per hour. Bridge Mountain pictured in the foreground, is part of the Wilson Cliffs Thrust of the Keystone Fault system. Once the floor of an ocean over 225 million years ago, Bridge Mountain was thrust high above what had become a desert floor about 65 million years ago when two crustal plates of the earth’s surface collided. Minerals imbedded in its sandstone layers oxidized giving the mountain a distinctive multicolored signature.
John Mowbray a 2nd generation Nevada lawyer is an avid astronomer and photographer who enjoys exploring the universe from the environs of Southern Nevada in general and the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area in particular. Mowbray and his telescopes have scanned the night skies for years. Capturing on film the last solar eclipse of the 20th century and the first lunar eclipse of the 21st century, Mowbray's photographs of comets and planetary conjunctions have chronicled recent events of the cosmos in our times.
