OriginalComet Lovejoy, passing in front of Earth's airglow on 22 December 2011, as seen from the International Space Station.
ALT-1 - Cropped and with less noise reduction.
Reason
Good setting and entire comet tail captured. Recent, yet already a historical photo since the next appearance will be only in ca. 2550–2600.
