Optical photo of Halleys comet
Image-processed optical photograph of the head of Halleys Comet, derived from 4 exposures made on May 25, 1910, at Helwan, Egypt. Successive colour contours, from green (less intense) through to blue (intense), represent increasing brightness of the comets nucleus. The computer enhancement reveals a small jet extending to the left from the centre of the nucleus
