Carrot or Comet?

Sounding somewhat like a cross between a cruddy 1980s quiz show and a fad diet, I hope the title of this article said it all.

Even the great astronomer Patrick Moore would've removed his monocle once or twice to determine whether this image was from the stars (admittedly on a clear day rather than The Sky at Night) or a brightly coloured out of focus garden vegetable.

Stare at a bit longer and it may all become clear. No? Okay, I'll help you. It's a stupid picture taken by my stupid phone in my pocket (or possibly on the way our my pocket, because that kind of thing happens too!).
