A stunning deep image of the Pleiades star cluster interacting with a passing cloud of gas and dust from Gould's Belt. The stars' light pressure repels the dust, creating filamentary structures. Comet C/2015 ER61 (PanSTARRS) is visible in the lower left. The vibrant colors showcase the dynamic interaction between the ancient star cluster and the younger dust cloud.

A stunning telescopic image shows Comet PanSTARRS (C/2017 T2) near galaxies M81 and M82. The comet, a visitor from the Oort Cloud, displays a beautiful coma and dust tail. Captured in dark California skies, the image also reveals a short anti-tail as the comet leaves the inner Solar System. The galaxies are located approximately 12 million light-years away, while the comet was about 14 light-minutes from Earth at the time of this observation.
