Polaris and the Trail of Comet ZTF
NASA APOD · David Ibarra Gomez
COSMIC MESSAGE
Stars trace concentric arcs around Polaris, the North Celestial Pole, in this three-hour exposure from Spain. On January 31, Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was near its northernmost point in Earth's sky. This made the comet circumpolar, always above the horizon, for observers at latitudes greater than 10 degrees north. The comet's trail is visible as a faint streak against the star trails.
