Comet Neowise is making its closest pass of Earth this week - and snap-happy islanders are making the most of it.
Among them is Jersey photographer Marc Whitehead, who captured the scene above Grosnez.
His photos clearly show the comet, which is 64 million miles from earth, hurtling through the western sky.
The lead picture features a selfie of Mr Whitehead sitting on a rock, while the portrait photograph below is of a friend.
Pictured: Mr Whitehead took this photo using a normal camera with no special filter or effects.
"I'm no astronomer but I'd say that capturing the night sky is definitely an interest of mine," he told Express.
"You don't need any special kit and anyone can take these types of images with the right knowledge and practice."
Mr Whitehead added that he would happily tutor anyone wanting to learn more about snapping the night sky. Anyone interested can get in touch with him on Facebook.
Neowise will be with us for the rest of the week, but then won't return to our skies for another 6,800 years.
