After surviving its closest approach to the sun, Comet Nishimura was buffeted by a possible coronal mass ejection that briefly blew its tail away.
The rare event was captured by a NASA spacecraft.
The recently discovered green comet Nishimura has been body slammed by a potential coronal mass ejection (CME) after surviving a close encounter with the sun.
The unexpected collision, which briefly blew away the comet's tail, was caught on camera by a NASA spacecraft.
