Comet C/2023 A3 on atmosphere’s edge, as seen from the ISS. We were fortunate enough to witness this comet during Expedition 72 aboard the International Space Station. My crewmate Matthew Dominick was able to use math to help us track where to shoot before it became visible. It grew brighter as it approached the sun, gradually developing a tail visible to both our eyes and cameras. Taken with Nikon Z9, 200mm f2, 1/8th sec, ISO 25600.

Thanks for sharing this amazing photograph. How long was the window of time that the comet would be visible like this?

If you’ve ever seen the very opening shot to the film “Predator”, this should feel very familiar.

A really „cool“ astronaut would start posting all the UFO pics that NASA has been hiding forever…😉
