Original – 12P/Pons–Brooks
Reason
Meets the FPC critia. High encyclopedic value since it is our best image of 12P/Pons–Brooks and its going to be difficult to get a replacement since its not due back until 2095. Green colour is due to diatomic carbon and is common in comets despite the media getting rather excited about it at the time.
