In today's image, we see The Flaming Star Nebula, which is an example of an emission nebula which shines with the red glow of hydrogen gas. Off to the right, we see comet ZTF which we have looked at a number of times over the past couple of months. Comet ZTF is now heading back out to the depths of the solar system.
