CME, Comet and Planet Earth
Comet PanSTARRS continues its journey, having recently been seen near a crescent Moon. This unique view from March 13 shows the comet posing with Earth itself, as observed by the STEREO Behind spacecraft. The spacecraft, following Earth's orbit, looks back toward the comet and Earth, with the Sun just off the left side of the frame.
