Comet Leonard

Comet Leonard streaks across the field of view of the NRL SoloHI telescope aboard ESA/NASA's Solar Orbiter spacecraft on Dec. 17-19, 2021. The comet's apparent backward movement is due to the spacecraft's relative motion. SoloHI will continue observing the comet until it leaves its field of view until Dec. 22.
