The image shows a wide view of Comet c/2022 E3 (ZTF) on February 13, 2023, while being in a close encounter with Planet Mars in Taurus constellation. Still featuring the wonderful greenish coma from glowing carbon gas, a dust and yet visible long faint ion tail, the comet was shining between the dust of dark nebulas from the Taurus molecular cloud.
PT: A imagem revela uma visão ampla do Cometa c/2022 E3 (ZTF) captada a 13 de Fevereiro de 2023, durante um encontro com o Planeta Marte que transita a constelação de Touro. Ainda exibindo o coma esverdeada proveniente do brilho do gás carbono, é possível ver a cauda de poeira, e ainda a cauda de íons longa e relativamente fraca, enquanto o cometa brilhava por entre a poeira das nebulosas escuras da nuvem molecular de Touro.
