These amazing time-lapse videos capture some spectacular views of comet Pan-STARRS, one of the first great comets of 2013.

The comet is named for the Hawaiian telescope observatory where it was discovered in 2011, has made its way through the inner solar system in recent weeks. During its pass, the object could be seen in the night sky with the naked eye or a good pair of binoculars. Because it is Spring, many viewers were blocked by clouds but there may be an even better chance to see a great comet in November when comet ISON appears. ISON will potentially be bright enough to see during the day.
