Description:
Farewelling the northern hemisphere skies, barely above the evening horizon, comet 12P/Pons-Brooks was part of a beautiful planetary conjunction on April 10, 2024, alongside Jupiter, Uranus, and the two-day-old waxing crescent Moon saturating with its light the long exposure required to reveal the structural details of the comet's tail.
