Description:

Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF taken on February 19th, 2022. Compared to 20 days ago, the comet has moved away from the Sun and Earth, becoming smaller and fainter, but still remaining a beautiful object to photograph with its two tails of dust and ions. These days it is located between Taurus and Orion in an area very rich in faint nebulae. The photo was taken remotely from the very dark sky of Australia
