Description:
Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) imaged on December 24, 2022. With a brightness at magnitude 7.5, its powerful coma measures 12' in angular size. Its wide and short tail of dust stands out, which opens in the shape of a fan and, above all, an ionic tail of at least 3 degrees in length in which details in the form of jets can be appreciated.
