This animation shows the estimated shape of the Veil Nebula. It has to be more or less spherical due to nature of the supernova explosion.

This is the best shot I’ve seen of C/2022 E3 ZTF to date, a panorama created by Chris Schur from Payson, Arizona. Chris shot it on January 27 and just look at the detail in all the components of the tail! Magnificent!
Dan L Ward retweeted
As good as it gets: Chris Schur’s image of C/2022 E3 ZTF shows it on January 24, when Earth crossed the orbital plane of the comet, showing the maximum antitail. What an absolutely lovely sight!

Problem:
Rudeness is contagious. "It spreads quickly, anyone can be a carrier—at work, at home, online, or in our communities—and getting infected doesn’t take much."
Solution:
In every interaction, be a little kinder, more patient, & more generous.
