TL;DR Summary

The University of Reading is encouraging stargazers to photograph the comet C/2021 S3 Pannstars as it passes Earth, as its tail may detach, providing valuable information about solar wind conditions. Researchers hope to use the photos to forecast and mitigate potential harm from solar wind, which can damage technology on Earth. The comet will be visible until the end of March and requires a camera with a large lens or a small telescope to capture.
