Yet another outstanding image of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) by Petr Horálek taken on October 18, from the shore of Seč Lake, Czech Republic.

The pic also captures the aurora caused by a G2 geomagnetic storm that day and the storm's effect on the comet's long ion tail.

Pic of the comet with the lake in the foreground and a crimson aurora lighting up the skyline.

Instagram post by Petr:
SOLAR WIND IN COMET'S TAIL AND EARTH'S SKY: Yesterday evening, a truly unusual view was possible to capture from Seč Lake, Czech Republic. CME from the Sun hit the Earth, producing a G2 geomagnetic storm, including faint auroras even in mid-latitudes. As the comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon approaches Earth (in 2 days), the same cloud from the sun affected even the complicated ion tail of the comet. I succeeded with deeper imaging to reveal that moment in the tail as well as the aurora itself. It doesn't happen every day to capture the invisible solar wind in two sky phenomena at the same moment!

Camera: Canon Ra, Sigma Art 50mm, f 1.4, ISO 4000, 43x8s.

To be clear, Judge Cummings ruled that ICE agents must wear body cameras AND have them turned on AND also cannot arrest anyone complying with their appointment dates at immigration courthouses.

Judge Cummings is Federal Judge for the N Dist. of IL. Every Judge nationwide should be ordering this.

Upon returning from Montana Saturday evening, I saw that the aurora data looked promising for right after dark, so I went out to one of my favorite spots. I was exhausetd, but as promised it was excellent right after dark before fading. It was almost like a quick reassurance from the universe.

If you're negotiating damages of approximately $180k through mediation with an Ottawa based lawyer who went to the Jays game last night, you should know he's currently loudly broadcasting the "confidential" (his words) details to the entire business class car on Via Rail on a phone call.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
