A man captured video of a comet flying through the sky in St. Augustine Beach on Saturday.
Eric Zsolczai said he woke up at 4 a.m. Saturday to photograph Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Paradisaical.
Comet 45P, also known as the New Year Comet, is visible only once every 5.25 years.

The comet was visible at the same time as a lunar eclipse and “snow” moon, which is another rare phenomenon.
"With a full moon out, I had some serious doubts that I was going to catch anything," Zsolczai said on Facebook. "I soon realized that I could (barely) capture the comet and that it was really blazing across the sky. I was so amazed at how fast it was going that I decided to make a time-lapse video of it speed-racing outta here."
According to NASA, stargazers will have to wait until 2022 to see Comet 45P again.
