Astrophotographer Snaps a Mystical Green Comet Losing its Tail

A mystical green comet's tail appears disconnected in a photograph taken by an Austrian comet hunter. The stunning effect may have been sparked by erratic space weather, according to a report by Space.com.

After traveling 500 miles (800 kilometers) from Austria to Bavaria in Germany to acquire an unobstructed view of the night sky on Tuesday, January 17, astronomer Michael Jäger captured this image of the comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF).
