Komet Vico-swift

About this celestial object

Comet Vico‑Swift shows a delicate coma — a fleeting visit to the inner Solar System.

Near the Sun, comets develop a coma and often a short, fan‑shaped tail; their brightness can change rapidly.

The short 10‑second exposure captures the compact nuclear region without appreciable field motion — the coma remains distinct.

At 250 mm and f/5, the tail’s onset stays subtle while the core remains pinpoint.
