月琴山-阿特拉斯彗星正在返回外太陽系。 這顆巨大的塵埃雪球在靠近太陽的過程中上演了一場精彩的表演，因此在 10 月份從地球上拍攝到了許多令人印象深刻的照片。 這張照片拍攝於 10 月中旬，展示了彗星的一個顯著視覺特徵--令人印象深刻的反尾。這張照片拍攝的是彗星C/ 2023 A 3 （Tsuchinshan-ATLAS），它的塵埃和離子尾巴很長，向上並遠離太陽，令人印象深刻，而由更大質量塵埃粒子組成的強烈反尾巴則尾隨彗星，向下（幾乎）指向剛剛落山的太陽。前景是義大利的 Tai di Cadore 村，背景是巨大的多洛米蒂山脈。 另一顆彗星 C/ 2024 S 1 (ATLAS)曾是亮度可與津琴山-阿特拉斯彗星媲美的候選彗星，上週在接近太陽時解體。 成長相簿： 2024 年的土山-阿特拉斯彗星
原文：Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas is now headed back to the outer Solar System. The massive dusty snowball put on quite a show during its trip near the Sun, resulting in many impressive pictures from planet Earth during October. The featured image was taken in mid-October and shows a defining visual feature of the comet -- its impressive anti-tail. The image captures Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) with impressively long dust and ion tails pointing up and away from the Sun, while the strong anti-tail -- composed of more massive dust particles -- trails the comet and points down and (nearly) toward the recently-set Sun. In the foreground is village of Tai di Cadore, Italy, with the tremendous Dolomite Mountains in the background. Another comet, C/2024 S1 (ATLAS), once a candidate to rival Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas in brightness, broke up last week during its close approach to our Sun.
