A telescope on the island of Hawaii, USA discovered Pan-STARRS in 2011, when it was flying between Jupiter and Saturn. In the picture, we can see the comet trail appearing above the Atacama desert in South America in early March. (Photo: ESO)
By 2013, the brightness of Pan-STARRS increased millions of times. It came close to the sun but did not break like other comets. This is a close-up shot of the comet above Buenos Aires, Argentina, on March 3. (Photo: Diaz Bobillo)
On March 5, comets continue to fly towards the sun and about 160 million kilometers from the earth. It slashed across the sky above Vicuna, Chile in the sunset light. (Photo: Emilio Lepeley)
