Long Tailed Comet SWAN

COSMIC MESSAGE

Blowing in the solar wind, the spectacular ion tail of Comet SWAN (C/2020 F8) extends far across this 10-degree wide telephoto field of view. Captured on May 2, its greenish coma was about 6 light-minutes from Earth. The background starfield lies near the border of the constellations Cetus and Aquarius. Comet SWAN was discovered by Australian amateur Michael Mattiazzo by checking images from the SOHO spacecraft's SWAN camera.
