Comet ATLAS (C/2020 M3) seen as the green glow above the bright blue star Bellatrix in the shoulder of Orion, and approaching the large diffuse red nebula surrounding the 'head' star of Orion, Lambda Orionis. The large nebula complex is catalogued as Sharpless 2-264. At right, above the comet, is the smaller emission and reflection nebula catalogued as vdB (vandenBurgh) 38. The sparse star cluster surrounding Lambda Orionis is Collinder 69. This was the night of November 15/16, 2020, with the comet moving rapidly northward a day after its closest approach to Earth and three weeks after its perihelion, or closest approach to the Sun.
