Amanda Mares, of Devine, caught this shot of the Atlas Comet visible over Devine Warhorse practice fields around 8 o clock October 14. According to NASA, comets are frozen leftovers from the formation of the solar system composed of dust, rock, and ices. They range from a few miles to tens of miles wide, but as they orbit closer to the Sun, they heat up and spew gases and dust into a glowing head that can be larger than a planet. This material forms a tail that stretches millions of miles.
