Comment: Comet Neowise c/2020 f3 was spotted in Eastern Siberia in July 2020. The photo was taken at the sacred center of the northern shamanic world, about. Olkhon, which is part of the Baikal National Park. Comet neowise c/2020 f3 is unique in the presence of two tails at once - the bluish gas (ionic) tail glows due to the fluorescence of C2 and CN molecules, the golden tail consists of dust. Filming the flight of a comet over Baikal is problematic, because weather changes on the island are unpredictable, and at night it is usually cloudy. During the author's week-long stay on the island, there were only a few hours of cloudless night sky, the only opportunity to photograph the comet, which the Earth will next see in 6800 years.
