Jakub Kuřák: "C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS) with the Witch Nebula🧙
May 4, 2026,Martin Mašek took remote photos of☄️C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS) using FRAM (Photometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor) instrument,I then received these data for processing & this is the final image of this beautiful hairy thing.
"The comet itself has an orbital period of approximately 160,000 - 170,000 years, so this is the last time we will see it in our lifetime. Coincidentally, we observed the same comet less than a month ago on the island of La Palma."
