At the center of the image, a breathtaking celestial phenomenon can be seen: the C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) comet, trailing its bright tail across the dawn sky. To the right of the comet rises the silhouette of the Teide volcano, while to the left, the Moon, only 2% illuminated, emerges above the horizon. The comet, the Moon, and the volcano appear as a triumvirate, a unique natural alliance in the sky.
I spent a week on La Palma for astrophotography, aiming to capture this comet before sunrise. It was quite a challenge to wake up at 4:30 AM every day and drive up to Caldera de Taburiente along its endlessly winding roads, with the icy wind howling around me. But in the end, I believe it was all worth it.
