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.
