C/2023 A3: A Comet Worth Watching
My first time seeing a comet: C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) appeared clearly above the light dome of Delfzijl. A quiet evening at the dyke, shared telescope views, and my first real try at photographing a comet.

This acrylic painting was inspired by a composite photo of NASA NIRCam. It unveils auroras on both poles, swirling hazes and the awe-inspiring Great Red Spot, a famous storm that is over 300 years old. The brightness indicates high altitude – so the Great Red Spot appears white in this view while clouds with a lower altitude appear darker and blue.
