in the evening sky
2/8/23

 
Currently
            at 10th magnitude in Andromeda, this dim comet shows a bit of
            teal coloration, in the coma, and two distinct tails. The upper
            dust tail has a sharper right side and the dim gas tail trails
            off to the left as a short ray.
