“Lemmon Tree” is copyrighted by Uroš Fink. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet Lemmon, C/2025 A6, is not threatening the tree in the foreground; it's millions of miles away. This comet continues to brighten as it approaches Earth, even after passing its closest point to the Sun. It will be most visible when it comes within half the Earth-Sun distance next week. This makes it a prime target for observation, potentially even with binoculars.
A well-studied spiral
ESA/Hubble released this picture on 13 October 2025. That is the day it was published, not the day it was taken.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
Prints are coming soon. The card is free to save and share in the meantime.
