Details:
On the evening of October 18, 2025, comet SWAN (C/2025 R2) – comet Lemmon's "little sister" – crossed a stunning star field in the heart of the Milky Way, framed by the iconic Eagle (M16) and Omega (M17) nebulae.
A beautiful yet challenging image to process, given the crowded and nebulous field.
