Comet above the MAGIC
Description: Comet 46/p can be seen as a green spot above the MAGIC telescope. The Milky way is magnified and reflected in the mirror, with airglow causing a green tint both in the reflection, and low on the horizon. Comet 46/p was an alternative landing site for the Rosetta mission, but the target was ultimately swapped to comet 67/p. Cometa por encima de MAGIC. Credit: Thomas Davison.
