Negative image of Comet Hale-Bopp in the constellation Pictor. Taken with a 1-meter telescope, this long-exposure shot reveals the comet's substantial tail and a unique anti-tail pointing towards the sun, composed of large dust grains unaffected by solar wind. The comet, last visible in 1997, is currently 400 million miles from the sun.

What created an unusual dark streak in #Comet #TsuchinshanAtlas 's tail? Some images of the bright comet during mid-October not only caught its impressively long #tail and its thin #antitail, but a rather unexpected feature: a dark streak in the long tail.
