It is the object to the left of the big tree that’s generating much recent excitement. If you look closely, there you can see Comet PanSTARRS, complete with two tails. During July, this comet has increased markedly in brightness and has just passed its closest approach to Earth. The statuesque tree in the center is a Norfolk Island Pine, and to either side of this tree are New Zealand Pohutukawa trees. Over the trees, far in the distance, are bright Venus and an even brighter crescent Moon. If you look even more closely, you can find Jupiter hidden in the branches of the pine. The featured image was taken a few days ago in Fergusson Park, New Zealand, looking over Tauranga Harbour Inlet. In the coming days and weeks, Comet C/2014 Q1 (PANSTARRS) will slowly move away from the Sun and the Earth, drift deep into southern skies, and fade. Follow APOD on: Facebook, Google Plus, or Twitter

🌌 在大樹左邊的物體,正引起最近的興奮。如果你仔細觀看,可以看到彗星 PanSTARRS,並伴隨著兩條尾巴。這顆彗星在七月份的亮度顯著增加,並剛剛通過了與地球的最近距離。中央的樹是諾福克島松,這棵樹的兩側是紐西蘭的 Pohutukawa 樹。樹上方,遠處是明亮的金星和更明亮的彎月。如果你再仔細一點,可以在松樹的樹枝裡找到木星。這幅圖片幾天前是在新西蘭的 Fergusson Park 拍攝的,視野可以俯瞰陶朗加港口入海口。在接下來的幾天和幾週內,彗星 C/2014 Q1 (PANSTARRS) 將緩緩遠離太陽和地球,逐漸消失於南天之中。
