Comet R3 PanSTARRS over a Himalayan Valley
Comet C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS displays a long, wispy ion tail, stretching across a Himalayan valley in this long-exposure photograph. While barely visible to the unaided eye, cameras can capture its full extent. The comet's tail is primarily due to our nearly sideways view as it points away from the Sun.
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.
