EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Comet Lovejoy as seen from the International Space Station (ISS). The image, one of a series of five, showcases a planetary conjunction that occurred on the evening of April 30th, 2002. As the sun sets in the Finnish sky, an array of celestial bodies comes into view. In the upper left corner, we can spot Jupiter shining brightly against the darkening horizon. Just above it is Venus, radiating its own intense glow and stealing our attention. Below and to the right of Venus lies Mercury, although much fainter in comparison. Above and slightly to the left of Venus appears Mars with its distinct reddish hue. And just to Mars' left stands Saturn with its majestic rings. At lower center-left position sits Aldebaran (Alpha Tauri), a prominent star within the constellation Taurus. Its brilliance adds another layer to this cosmic spectacle unfolding before us. This scene not only showcases these celestial wonders but also provides an opportunity for stargazers and astronomers alike to observe their movements over time. For those curious about how these planets shifted between April 30th and May 14th, a sequence of images is available for exploration. Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's awe-inspiring marvels through this stunning photograph taken from space – reminding us all of our place in this vast universe.
