Comet Leonard A1
in the morning sky
11/13/21

 
 Steadily
            increasing in brightness, this comet now displays a very nice
            steep parabolic envelope in the coma, and a strongly colored
            yellow in the dust. Here a single very faint ray in the tail
            is starting to form on the upper side.
