Explanation: Comet Lemmon has been putting on a show for cameras around the globe. Passing nearest to Earth in late October, the photogenic comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) sprouted two long and picturesque tails: a blue ion tail and a white dust tail. The ion tail is pushed away from the coma by the ever-present but ever-changing solar wind , at one point extending over 20 times the diameter of the full Moon -- as captured in this long-duration exposure. The shorter and wider dust tail is pushed away from the coma and shines by reflecting sunlight. The featured picture , captured two weeks ago, framed the comet behind Lomnický Peak of the High Tatra Mountains , home to the Slovakia n Lomnický Stit Observatory . Comet Lemmon is now fading as it heads away from planet Earth. The huge shedding snow ball will round the Sun later this week.
