Comet C/2025 R3 Panstarrs
in the evening sky
5/9/26

 

            
 As the comet
            passes Orion and fades, we were able to take one more shot of
            this celestial beacon revealing a long flowing gas tail. My collegue
            Paul in Queensland Australia took the required data and sent
            it to me for state of the art processing. The result shows the
            comets stranded blue ion tail well, and a hint of ruddy dust.
