COSMIC MESSAGE

The Sun's ultraviolet light causes gases in Comet Hyakutake's coma to scatter radiation and fluoresce, making the comet a bright source in the ultraviolet sky. This image, from NASA's Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite, shows the comet's intensity in this invisible, high-energy band. The false-color image reveals insights into the composition of this visitor from the outer solar system.
