Brilliant green comet loses part of its tail in stunning photo | Space
An image taken by an Austrian comet hunter reveals a disconnection in a stunning green comet's tail that may have been caused by turbulent space weather.
Seasoned astrophotographer Michael Jäger took this image of the Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) on Tuesday (Jan. 17) after driving 500 miles (800 kilometers) from Austria to Bavaria in Germany to get a clear view of the night sky. Jäger shared the image on Twitter (opens in new tab), along with more photos video of the comet.
"The journey was not in vain," Jäger told Space.com in an email. He added that when it comes to capturing images of comets, an astrophotographer can waste no time as these icy balls change rapidly when they reach the warmer regions in the inner solar system.  ...

so tired, so cold, so totally worth the minor hypothermia
[Image ID: a faint photograph of the comet c/2022 E3 (ZTF), which appears as a vague greenish smudge with a slightly brighter central part. /end IF]
#out of context this is an extremely unimpressive picture lol#heck maybe even with context#but HOLY FREAKING MOLY#c/2022 e3 (ztf)#comet ztf#Cheese's personal molasses#THE J O U R N E Y TO GET THIS SMUDGY LITTLE THING PHOTOGRAPHED#the cold broke one of the clasps of the telescope's tripod so we had to shorten it all the way down and just sit on the cold lake deck#looking back and forth between an online simplified star chart the sky and the scope#meanwhile the moon is rising higher and higher and making everything brighter#so we're just taking random cool night pictures because even if we didn't manage to see the comet at least we got to see a cool night sky#then like an hour later my dad texts from 5 hours away asking if this one little tiny smudge in my housemate's picture is The One#then comparing everything we realize that that smudge is exactly where the comet's supposed to be tonight#so THEN we're both using the telescope at the same time trying to find this smudge#him with the tiny viewfinder and me through the main scope#many inadvertent head bumps#so he's telling me to move a little this way and that way to find specific stars#and I am totally guesstimating because his head's in the way of the viewfinder#but then we found it!#solidly smudgy and faintly green exactly where it was said to be#then trying to line up the phone camera with the telescope which is hard on a normalday but on a day with minimal light from the subject#darn near impossible#but by SHEER LUCK happened to snap this photo on the first try#we tried to get longer exposure afterward but couldn't manage it#fingers were frozen and couldn't see a thing and our other friend was freezing inside the car#so we had to bail#but WE SAW ITTTTTTTT#and now that we've found it I think it'll be easier to find in the future#dunno that I'll be able to line it up long enough for a longer exposure picture though#ahhhhh but I'm so satisfied right now you have no idea
