Comet Ponce-Brooks had its tail ripped off by a solar ejection.

Earth is not the only celestial body that experienced the effects of extreme space weather last week, during a powerful geomagnetic storm. Comet Ponce-Brooks also fell victim to the solar ejection.

The effect of a coronal mass ejection impact can be seen in a photograph taken on May 15 using a remotely operated telescope in Hakos, Namibia.
