即使没有彗星,这景色也会很美。就其本身而言,日出的天空在高处是优雅的深蓝色,隐约可见白色的星星,而在地平线附近则是令人愉悦的棕褐色。就其本身而言,斯洛伐克东部的前景山是迷人的绿色,远处的Zadňa hura和Veľká hora山,以及沿途小镇的灯光。金星,在它的右边,看起来异常精致,周围环绕着色彩斑斓的大气日冕。但最吸引人的还是彗星。在昨天黎明前拍摄的合成图像中,左边是西村彗星。最近在世界各地的早晨,它明亮的彗发和长长的离子尾使许多早晨的全景照片异常美丽。明天,C/2023 P1(西村)将在未来434年里经过离地球最近的地方。

This scene would be beautiful even without the comet. By itself, the sunrise sky is an elegant deep blue on high, with faint white stars peeking through, while near the horizon is a pleasing tan. By itself, the foreground hills of eastern Slovakia are appealingly green, with the Zadňa hura and Veľká hora hills in the distance, and with the lights of small towns along the way. Venus, by itself on the right, appears unusually exquisite, surrounded by a colorful atmospheric corona. But what attracts the eye most is the comet. On the left, in this composite image taken just before dawn yesterday morning, is Comet Nishimura. On recent mornings around the globe, its bright coma and long ion tail make many a morning panoramic photo unusually beautiful. Tomorrow, C/2023 P1 (Nishimura) will pass its nearest to the Earth for about the next 434 years.
