This photo from Argentina is spectacular, and it is also a curious photo because in addition to guessing what these little lines that are seen on the left side of the image are, the Comet I suppose that you can already identify perfectly is the Comet C/2024 G3 Atlas is the protagonist these days, because it is also very visible, especially in the southern hemisphere, but it will be less and less because it is moving away from us.

The image shows the sequence, and you can see the decomposition of its nucleus, this sequence was taken by the Hungarian astronomer Lionel Majzik but they were taken from the southern hemisphere also from a telescope in Chile and shows a bright serpentine in the nucleus, The point is that the serpentine appeared in the coma, the coma is what the envelope of gas and dust that surrounds the Comet is called, because we cannot actually see the comet nucleus, we see the brightness of that cloud of gas and dust bright, but nevertheless what has been noticed if you see the point on the left is brighter on 18 and 19 a little less.
