Australian Outback Red Monolith Beneath Fan-Tailed Comet

Full prompt

Landscape astrophotography captured in a balanced 1:1 aspect ratio, set in the Central Australian Outback. Across the lower third of the square frame, weathered red sandstone boulders and spinifex tussocks rest quietly under Bortle 1 dark skies. Rising dramatically above the desert horizon into the upper two-thirds is a southern great comet, showcasing an enormous fan-shaped dust tail characterized by synchronized striation bands and sweeping rays spanning the heavens. A straight, delicate blue ion tail cuts cleanly past the Southern Cross and Carina Nebula. Full-frame digital capture retains deep ochre earth tones and pinpoint stellar brilliance, unifying ancient Australian geology and the grand celestial apparition within a centered square gallery composition.
