October 14th 2024 - Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS after its trip around the sun

Photographed from the Ecological Preserve on the UCI campus.

   

After looping around the sun the comet displayed an anti-tail, made from dust that has recently been left behind by the comet in its orbital plane around the sun. When the Earth passed through this plane on October 14 this residual debris was illuminated by the sun and reflected back to Earth, giving the impression of a second, fainer tail.
