The Comet and the Ring - In a one-in-a-million encounter, Comet 73P Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 passes very near M57, The Ring Nebula in the constellation Lyra. Of course, in three dimensional space the two are nowhere near each other, M57 laying about 2,300 light years beyond the comet. The color fringes on the comet are due to its motion during the three filtered exposures used to make this composite color image.Taken May 8th, 2006. Dome one high mag scope of the SLOOH Observatory on Mt. Teide, Tenerife, Canary Islands.
