Gas and Snow Jets from Comet Hartley 2
The EPOXI spacecraft captured these unusual jets emanating from Comet Hartley 2. The jets, made of gas and snow, shoot away from the two-kilometer-long comet as it nears the Sun. This warming causes the comet's icy surface to sublimate, releasing material into space.
