Reason

Quality photo of this recently discovered comet, discovered in March 2022. This photo was captured in January 2023 when the comet was close to Earth and had an anti-tail. The photo is published by INAF, the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics. The photo is captured by an independent (I think) photographer who is affiliated with INAF. Was seen on en-WP main-page.

• Support - I'd considered nominating this myself, but then I saw it is a PNG. Have they fixed that annoying little bug where a JPG thumbnail is sharper than a PNG thumbnail? Lossless is nice, but if it's detrimental to readers... well, in this case there are no fine details to be lost either way, so I feel comfortable supporting.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:55, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  The bug is there, but I agree that in many cases there is no noticeable difference, especially at smaller thumbnails. Also, both formats render the same at full size (as far as I can tell). Bammesk (talk) 03:33, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Yeah, I think the full resolution images load the same. However, as these images are seen by readers within the context of articles... I am somewhat concerned by thumbnail appearance when it affects the viewing experience. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:44, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Support as uploader - I think this is not only a characteristic view of this comet, but also a very helpful illustration of comet tails and coma: the blue ion tail, the white dust tail and the green coma, along with an antitail. --C messier (talk) 22:45, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
