Explanation:
Can you find the comet?
True, a careful eye can find thousands of
stars,
tens of constellations, four planets, three
galaxies, and the
central band of our
Milky Way Galaxy --
all visible in the sky of this spectacular 180-degree panorama.
Also, if you know what
to look for, you can identify pervasive green
airglow, an
earthly cloud, the
south celestial pole, and even a distant
cluster of stars.
But these are all easier to find than
Comet 252P/LINEAR.
The featured image,
taken in
el Leoncito National
Park,
Argentina in early April, also
features the dome of the
Jorge Sahade telescope on the hill on the far right.
Have you found the comet yet?
If so,
good
for you (it was the
green spot on the left),
but really the harder thing to find is
Small Cloud of Magellan.
