Cometary Globule CG4 looks like a giant sand worm (Shia-Hulud to “ Dune” fans), with its gaping maw open as if poised to swallow the galaxy ESO 257-19. A line of sight effect. #astrophotography

Ok is it time for the rest of the world to

1. Make health checks mandatory for any USAians visiting including asking to see proof of vaccination?
2. Work out the best time to announce a boycott of the LA Olympics
3 Introduce a 100% tariff on all Swasticars?

Comet C/2024 G3 ATLAS has made a dramatic appearance in planet Earth's skies. A visitor from the distant Oort Cloud, the comet reached its perihelion on January 13. On January 19, the bright comet was captured here from ESO Paranal Observatory in the Atacama desert in Chile. Sporting spectacular sweeping dust tails, this comet ATLAS is setting in the southern hemisphere twilight and was clearly visible to the unaided eye. In the foreground is the closed shell of one of the observatory's famous auxiliary telescopes. Still wowing southern hemisphere observers, the comet's bright coma has become diffuse, its icy nucleus apparently disintegrating following its close approach to the Sun.
