“Comet Ikeya-Zhang Brightens” is copyrighted by Gerald Rhemann. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet Ikeya-Zhang brightened in March 2002, becoming just visible to the unaided eye. Observers were optimistic it would grow even brighter. This composite color image, captured with a wide-field telescope, shows the comet's bright, condensed coma and subtle structures in its developing tail. The bluish tail stretches five degrees across a star-filled background.
