Comet R3 PanSTARRS Behind Satellite Trails
Image Credit & Copyright: Uli Fehr
Explanation: Can you find the comet? Somewhere through this web of satellite trails is Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS), a bright visitor passing through the inner Solar System. Now, the orbiting satellites themselves only appear as streaks because of the long camera exposure, over 10 minutes in this case. On the contrary, to the eye, satellites appear as points that drift slowly across the night sky and shine by reflecting sunlight -- primarily just after sunset and before sunrise. The featured image was taken just before sunrise two weeks ago from Bavaria, Germany. Presently, Comet R3 PanSTARRS is hard to see for even another reason -- because it is so (angularly) close to the Sun. As the comet rounds the Sun, it will be best seen in coming weeks from southern hemispheree skies, although then it will be heading out to interstellar space and fading. If you haven't yet found the comet, don't despair; please take a closer look just above the image center.

Also, you can find my photographs by searching for #D7000. But please note that of course neither of these hashtags is unique to me.

"Portrait of NGC 1055" image by John Hayes is #NASA #astronomy picture of the day #APOD. This image of spiral galaxy NGC 1055, 60 million light years away, is the result of 82 hours of observation and processing from a remotely-operated mountaintop telescope in Chile by an astronomer in Tucson, Arizona. https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap251127.html
