Description

Evolution of the emitting jets deriving from the nucleus of comet Lovejoy.

The original images are treated with a radial gradient and a LS alghoritm to show details in the inner coma of the comet.

The jets are composed with gases and dusts, and are emitted from the active areas on the cometary nucleus. The comet is a slow rotator.

Original Images taken at Stazione Astronomica di Sozzago, Osservatorio di Tradate FOAM13, Osservatorio del Monte Lema (CH).

Images rescaled to 0.69 arcsec/pixel.
