Image Description and Details: This exceptional image captures comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) in stunning detail, without distracting background stars, allowing a clear view of its fascinating inner structures. The image reveals delicate details in both the gas and dust tails, as well as signs of activity near the comet’s nucleus. The complex arrangement of gas and dust forms dynamic structures influenced by solar radiation and the comet’s rotation. This starless background makes the comet appear suspended in space, enabling astronomers to study the physical processes driving its development and evolution more closely. Images like this are crucial for understanding the mechanisms behind comet disintegration and their role in dispersing material within the Solar System.
The image was taken from Poland on October 18 and 19, between 18:45 and 19:30 CET, in 96 frames of 20 seconds each.
