The streak on the upper right is Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas showing an impressive dust tail. The comet is a large and dirty iceberg that entered the inner Solar System and is shedding gas and dust as it is warmed by the Sun&#8217;s light. The streak on the lower left is a meteor showing an impressive evaporation trail. The meteor is a small and cold rock that entered the Earth&#8217;s atmosphere and is shedding gas and dust as it is warmed by molecular collisions. The meteor was likely once part of a comet or asteroid &#8212; perhaps later composing part of its tail. The meteor was gone in a flash and was only caught by coincidence during a series of exposures documenting the comet&#8217;s long tail. The featured image was captured just over a month ago from Sichuan Province in China. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap241127.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How different are these two streaks?
