“The Long Wispy Tail of Comet R3 (PanSTARRS)” is copyrighted by Haythem Hamdi. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS has developed an impressive, wispy tail of glowing gas. The tail originates from a central nucleus of dirty ice, warmed by the Sun. As the nucleus releases gas, it forms a coma, and energetic sunlight ionizes this gas, pushing it away from the Sun to create the ion tail.
