A resident managed to snap a once-in-a-century comet in Northern skies last night.
Martin Sanderson snapped the Comet A3 (or Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) lighting the sky above the Point of Ayre last night. (Oct 13)
The phenomenon occurs every 80,000 years and was seen this year across the UK, USA and Asia in the inner solar system.
It's believed the comet came from the Oort Cloud - a giant spherical shell that surrounds our solar system and contains billions of objects including comets - according to the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS).
