Details:
Images of the near-Earth comet 252P/LINEAR close to the beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 2090 in Columba (Dove) constellation were obtained in the course of NOOSFERA foundation's international project "Discovery within a Week". Observations were performed remotely with the 43-cm (17-inch) T32 instrument of iTelescope Network in Australia. On March 3rd, 2016 the comet has passed within 15' from this deep-sky object which is at 40 million light years from Earth. The distance to the comet during the observations was 18 mln km, or 1 light minute!
