Description

This comet called "103P Hartley", discovered in 1986 orbits the sun every 6.5 years. It reached perihelion on October 12th. This photo was taken in the early morning hours of October 17, 2023. Due to the moonless night, it was possible to capture it photographically. He is now heading towards Jupiter's orbit again and will hopefully visit us again in march or april 2030.
