COSMIC MESSAGE

The Triangulum Galaxy, M33, shares the frame with Comet 8P/Tuttle in this long-exposure image. The comet's green coma is visible as it moves across the sky, appearing as a streak against the background stars and galaxy. This alignment shows the comet's motion relative to the more distant galaxy.
