Hubble Image:

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured images of a small portion of the coma (the tail is much too big for Hubble’s field of view) of the brightest northern-hemisphere comet in at least a decade. These Hubble images of the comet were taken on 8 August and feature the visitor’s coma, the fine shell that surrounds its nucleus, and its dusty output (https://www.spacetelescope.org/news/heic2015/?lang)
