Two swans and an eagle.
Comet SWAN—C/2025 R2—is drifting through the Milky Way now. Last night it drifted by M16, the Eagle Nebula and M17, the Swan Nebula. Lots of love already for comet colors, but that bumps up a few notches when a bright nebula or two are nearby. Pillars of Creation showing a bit in M16 above the comet too.
