A breathtaking moment captured by NASA’s STEREO spacecraft — but who is the real STAR here!?

In March 2013, STEREO, a spacecraft designed to monitor solar explosions, got photobombed by comet C/2011 L4 Pan-STARRS!

On the left, solar material erupts from the Sun, while Earth glows on the right. Then comet Pan-STARRS streaks right through the middle of the shot. We should treasure the interruption, though: This comet won’t be back for another 100,000 years!
