Comet Lovejoy seems poised to pierce the layers of Earth’s atmosphere in a picture taken December 22 by astronaut Dan Burbank, commander of the Expedition 30 crew aboard the International Space Station. When Burbank first saw the bright arc of the comet’s tail as the ISS was passing over Tasmania, he didn’t know what it was. He later described the object as possibly “the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in space.” The fascinated Burbank captured several pictures and made a time-lapse video of comet Lovejoy from the orbiting science lab.
