Three Galaxies and a Comet

NASA APOD · Dan Bartlett
COSMIC MESSAGE

Three spiral galaxies, known as the Grus Triplet, are gathered together about 70 million light-years away in the southern constellation Grus. They share this telescopic view with Comet C/2020 V2 ZTF, which is now moving away from the inner Solar System. The comet is on a hyperbolic orbit, swinging below the ecliptic plane.
