“A Comet Tail Horizon” is copyrighted by Marco Fulle. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet McNaught's tail remained visible even after its head had set, surprising many Northern Hemisphere observers. The comet displayed bright, rare filamentary striae within its expansive dust tail. The exact cause of these striae is still debated, but they may be related to fragmentation of the comet's nucleus. This comet was one of the brightest in decades.
