This wide-angle image shows the huge tail of the Lovejoy comet
in the dense starfield of the Milky Way near Ch+h double cluster in Perseus constellation. During the
comet observing a magnetic storm was underway which caused plasma blobs and disconnection events in
comet's plasma tail. See this fascinating 80 min animation.
