小朋友們，今天我們要來認識一顆神奇的彗星，叫做Comet R3 PanSTARRS！這顆彗星正在向上右的方向慢慢移動，像是在天空中翩翩起舞。最近，Comet R3 PanSTARRS已經移到了南半球的天空，讓住在那裡的小朋友們可以在日落後的西方看到它哦！彗星不會朝著圖片上面那顆遠遠的星星——Rigel走去，因為那顆星星實在是太遠了！而且，也不會朝著中間的女巫頭星雲，即使那雲彩的外形讓人很想靠近！當前，這顆彗星正在離我們的太陽系越來越遠，但在南半球的天空中仍然可以看到它大約一週的時間呢！這幅漂亮的圖片是在智利的Cerro Paranal拍攝的。快來一起期待Comet R3 PanSTARRS在2026年出現的壯觀畫面吧！
原文:
Which way is Comet R3 PanSTARRS going? Not towards the star at the top of the image, because that is Rigel, which, being far in the background, is unrelated to the comet. Not through the nebula in the image middle, because that is the Witch Head Nebula and it, too, is far in the distance — but not far from Rigel. Not into northern skies because over the past week Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) has moved into southern skies and is now best visible in Earth’s Southern Hemisphere toward the west after sunset. Angularly, Comet R3 PanSTARRS is slowly moving toward the upper right, night by night, and will soon be in the constellation Orion. Spatially, the comet is now headed out of our Solar System but should remain visible to cameras in southern skies for about a week. The featured image was captured last week near Cerro Paranal in Chile. Growing Gallery: Comet R3 PanSTARRS in 2026
