图钦山-阿特拉斯彗星现在正在返回外太阳系。这个巨大的尘埃雪球在接近太阳的过程中上演了一场精彩的表演,在10月份从地球上拍摄了许多令人印象深刻的照片。这张特色图片拍摄于10月中旬,展示了这颗彗星的一个决定性的视觉特征——令人印象深刻的反尾巴。这张照片捕捉到了彗星C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS),它令人印象深刻的长尘埃和离子尾巴指向上方和远离太阳,而强大的反尾巴——由更大质量的尘埃粒子组成——跟踪彗星,向下(几乎)指向最近落下的太阳。前景是意大利的Tai di Cadore村,背景是巨大的白云石山脉。另一颗彗星,C/2024 S1 (ATLAS),在亮度上曾是与冢山-阿特拉斯彗星相媲美的候选彗星,在上周接近太阳时解体。不断增长的画廊:2024年的土钦山彗星

Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas is now headed back to the outer Solar System. The massive dusty snowball put on quite a show during its trip near the Sun, resulting in many impressive pictures from planet Earth during October. The featured image was taken in mid-October and shows a defining visual feature of the comet -- its impressive anti-tail. The image captures Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) with impressively long dust and ion tails pointing up and away from the Sun, while the strong anti-tail -- composed of more massive dust particles -- trails the comet and points down and (nearly) toward the recently-set Sun. In the foreground is village of Tai di Cadore, Italy, with the tremendous Dolomite Mountains in the background. Another comet, C/2024 S1 (ATLAS), once a candidate to rival Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas in brightness, broke up last week during its close approach to our Sun.
