Description

Hello everybody...hope you are fine....!


Hope you enjoy this comet closeup!

(Source BBC Sky at Night Magazine): "Comet C/2013 X1 PANSTARRS was discovered by the University of Hawai’i’s automated Pan-STARRS 1 (Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System) on 4 December 2013.It reached perihelion on 2 April 2016, and over a period of months many comet chasers and astrophotographers observed and imaged the celestial body in the night sky over Earth."

The image shows Comet C/2013 X1 PANSTARRS , and was captured by TNG in December 2015 from La Palma, Canary Islands (15x 40 seconds each channel). 

By the way, I would like to give my good vibrations to all the Palmeros, who is being afflicted this past wo months by the Cumbre Vieja volcano eruption.
