Probably not my most WOW image, but one of the most emotional for me
This is comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar visitor not bound to our Sun, just passing through before continuing its journey.
Only the 3rd such object known. I pushed my small telescope and camera to their limits.
Video next is coming.

Long COVID impacts 80-400M globally. Neuropsychiatric issues like memory deficits are common, affecting 5-50% post-infection. PMID:41444262, Nat Rev Dis Primers 2025, @DiseasePrimers https://doi.org/10.1038/s41572-025-00674-7 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪
COVID-19-associated neurological and psychological manifestations | Nature Reviews Disease Primers
Long COVID is an infection-associated chronic condition that typically occurs within 3 months of acute COVID-19 infection in which symptoms are intermittently or continuously present for at least 3 months. Long COVID is estimated to affect between 80 and 400 million people globally, with an incidence of 5–20% in the community and up to 50% among hospitalized patients following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Common neuropsychiatric and mental health symptoms of long COVID include memory deficits, executive dysfunction, anxiety, depression, recurring headaches, sleep disturbances, neuropathies, problems with taste and smell, and dizziness that accompanies erratic heart rates and severe post-exertional malaise. Underlying pathophysiological mechanisms includes SARS-CoV-2 viral persistence, herpesvirus reactivation, microbiota dysbiosis, autoimmunity, clotting and endothelial abnormalities, and chronic immune activation. Owing to the variability in the clinical presentation, management must b
