Lexie scanned the horizon for what seemed the millionth time...

She saw the brightest star. It was Venus. Lexi was a great woman of so many talents. She was as astronomers, she loved to investigate histories of the far off stars and space.

Solar Tail

"Astronomers analyzing observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS using the W. M. Keck Observatory have discovered further unusual features of our third interstellar visitor, and confirmed the presence of a rare "anti-solar tail"."https://www.iflscience.com/anti-tail-and-odd-594-kilometer-feature-found-on-interstellar-object-3iatlas-by-keck-observatory-81188
