Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) (green, top left) appearing next to an open star cluster in the constellation Auriga (top left) and Mars (orange, bottom right). Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is approximately 1 km in diameter, and is predicted to have taken 50, 000 years to orbit the Sun. Its close approach to the inner solar system will have altered its orbit and could mean that it will permanently leave the solar system. Photographed in February 2023, when the comet was closest to earth. | |
