Comet Holmes Grows a Tail
.
"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."
.
Comet Holmes continues to be an impressive sight to the unaided eye. The comet has diminished in brightness only slightly, and now clearly appears to have a larger angular extent than stars and planets. Astrophotographers have also noted a distinctly green appearance to the comet's coma over the past week. Pictured above over Spain in three digitally combined exposures, Comet 17P/Holmes now clearly sports a tail. The blue ion tail is created by the solar wind impacting ions in the coma of Comet Holmes and pushing them away from the Sun. Comet Holmes underwent an unexpected and dramatic increase in brightness starting only two weeks ago. The detail visible in Comet Holmes' tail indicates that the explosion of dust and gas that created this dramatic brightness increase is in an ongoing and complex event. Comet Holmes will move only slightly on the sky over during the next month.

Earth is tiny, but she’s all we got. Made her feel good for all that she does for us. Like just THINK about biodiversity for a second. It blows my mind. Or how weather works. Like that HAPPENS. And sometimes we can’t even PREDICT it. I am constantly in awe of what our planet has to offer and if you’re not spend 2 seconds outside for a change. We gotta help her. She does so much.

@nasa - What would you name this massive galaxy cluster? Despite its beauty, it bears the distinctly unpoetic name of PLCK G308.3-20.2.
Galaxy clusters can contain thousands of galaxies all held together by the glue of gravity. At one point in time they were believed to be the largest structures in the universe — until they were usurped in the 1980s by the discovery of superclusters.
These massive formations typically contain dozens of galaxy clusters and groups and span hundreds of millions of light-years. However, clusters do have one thing to cling on to: superclusters are not held together by gravity, so galaxy clusters still retain the title of the biggest structures in the universe bound by gravity.

This a repost of my 'Aurora' drawing I made a few weeks ago. This is the drawing I use as my profile pic! I'll start uploading a few old drawings in this new format! I hope you like it 💙
