A large low surface brightness coma may explain the uncertainty in brightness since the observed size of the low surface brightness comets can be very sensitive to sky conditions, equipment, observer experience, and observing techniques. By Virginia Langmaid and Judson Jones, CNN.
2020 SJ5 comes to perihelion on 2021 January 1 at 2.62 au.
In case you wondered, the comet does not pose any danger to the planet and will pass by harmlessly. It has been visible in the early morning sky for a few days, but can now be seen in the evening sky for a few weeks — although it's not clear how long it will be bright enough to see with the naked eye. C/2020 S3 (ERASMUS) – Don’t be fooled by the name of this comet as C/2020 S3 is yet another ATLAS discovery.

By the last week of October, it could be visible to northern observers if it is still with us.
The Eta Aquarids meteor shower—known for fast-moving meteors and numbering around 10-20 per hour at its peak—will take place between April 19 and May 28, 2021, and peak on the night of May 5, 2021. Please send your observations via email to < carl.hergenrother @ alpo-astronomy.org >. The comet is likely already past its peak brightness. Perihelion occurs on 2020 July 19 at 5.00 au.
She has nearly 15+ years of experience as a broadcast meteorologist, serving audiences in St. Joseph and Springfield, Missouri, before moving to WOWT in Omaha, Nebraska, in 2011. It is a priority for CBC to create a website that is accessible to all Canadians including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges. But there's a chance the warming will cause a comet to break apart, as was most recently witnessed with Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS). 2020 10 16 5.5 12 39 -12 04 0.364 0.672 11 Crv 0 0 A three-mile wide comet named "NEOWISE" has lit up the skies, wowing people across the globe. A Publication of the Comets Section of the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers The new comet was first spotted in April 2020, by an amateur astronomer named … Nicole has an avid interest in all things science.
I was up really early for this shot. The comet is moving north and is visible from both hemispheres. 88P is moving against the rich star fields of Scorpius (Oct 1-2), Ophiuchus (2-15), and Sagittarius (15-31). So it really catches the sun and becomes very, very visible," he said. Please re-enable javascript to access full functionality. Comet NEOWISE C/2020 F3 seemed relatively underwhelming when it was discovered a few months ago.

However, the one to get prepared for is the Geminid meteor shower, the year’s very best, which will peak early on December 14, 2020 and unleash as many as 120 “shooting stars” per hour—and just a few hours before a precious total solar eclipse.
Nicolas Erasmus of the South African Astronomical Observatory discovered C/2020 S3 on September 17 with the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System) 0.5-m f/2 Schmidt at Mauna Loa, Hawaii. It’s an annual meteor shower of medium strength that occurs between October 2 and November 7 in 2020. In fact, its lightcurve was best modeled assuming that only the nucleus was being observed with little contribution from a coma.
I can grab your visual magnitude measurements from the COBS site. Part of the NEOWISE satellite operations is to help researchers distinguish between near-earth objects with dangerous orbits (potentially hazardous asteroids, or PHAs), and those that are not a threat, according to NASA. The comet is already a year past its 2019 September 12 perihelion at 2.95 au.
My monthly summaries usually only includes comets brighter than magnitude 12.0. Perihelion arrives on 2021 May 22 at 2.10 au. Of the inbound comets, only C/2020 M3 (ATLAS) is guaranteed to be within reach of small telescopes.

Schwab used a 0.8-m f/3 Schmidt at Calar Alto, Spain (in a project with D. Koschny, M. Micheli, and R. Jehn) to recover P/McNaught on September 11 and 12 at 20th magnitude. It has an 8.15-year orbital period. Long-Period comet – dynamically TBD (deg) Exactly how bright the comet got is still a bit in question as magnitude measurements submitted to the ALPO and COBS are all over the place (between 10th and 15th magnitude).
According to spaceweather.com Comet NEOWISE has a close brush with the Sun on July 3 and if it survives the solar onslaught skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere could see it peep over the northeastern horizon at dawn. That brightness assumes about 2 magnitudes of forward scattering due to a high angle. The comet has yet to be observable from the northern hemisphere. All three of us also reported the comet having a large (7-15') poorly condensed (DC 2-3.5) visual coma. 2020 10 31 12.2 10 22 -07 19 1.091 1.193 59 Sext 29 21 C/2020 S4 (PANSTARRS) – The Pan-STARRS1 telescope was also used to find this 21st magnitude comet on September 16. Please note that CBC does not endorse the opinions expressed in comments.

It should still be visible as a faint evening object throughout October in larger scopes.
In 2020 there'll be three relatively bright comets gracing the sky: PanSTARRS (C/2017 T2), 2P/Encke, and 88P/Howell. Audience Relations, CBC P.O. Pseudonyms will no longer be permitted. Long-Period comet – dynamically new (deg) The others are either poorly placed or uncertain brightness forecasts. Did you see Halley’s Comet when it was last in the Solar System in 1986? Officially known as C/2020 F3, Comet NEOWISE was first discovered in March by the infrared-optimized NEOWISE spacecraft (the name is short for … It gets its name from the NASA mission that discovered it, … 2020 10 26 9.6 18 24 -27 13 1.392 1.527 62 Sgr 15 39 McNaught will next be at perihelion in October 2033.C/2020 R2 (PANSTARRS) – 20th magnitude C/2020 R2 was first noticed in images by the Pan-STARRS2 telescope on September 12.
The monthly Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (ALPO) Comet News PDF can be found on the ALPO Comets Section website @ http://www.alpo-astr....org/cometblog/. It’s a tricky constellation to make out in its entirety, but if you’re looking at the constellation of Orion as you wait for shooting stars, cast your eyes due east and Hydra will be rising.
"This really is a special event and we don't know how long it will be this bright," said Scott Young, planetarium astronomer at the Manitoba Museum. C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) – This October we’ll be saying goodbye to C/2020 F3 for a few months.
Around that time, it may brighten to 13th magnitude. 2020 10 11 7.3 12 33 -24 37 0.432 0.661 19 Crv 0 0 With a 7.4-year period, it will next arrive at perihelion in October 2028.
The comet, which is an ancient ball of ice and rock that orbits the sun, likely came from the outer edges of the solar system, Young said. I'm an experienced science, technology and travel journalist and stargazer writing about exploring the night sky, solar and lunar eclipses, moon-gazing, astro-travel, astronomy and space exploration. A high-q object, C/2020 R2 won’t reach perihelion until 2022 February 24 at 4.67 au when it is only expected to reach 18th magnitude. "For the northern hemisphere, it's very low to the horizon in the early morning," says Karl Battams, an astrophysicist with the Naval Research Laboratory. Plan to be at your observing site just before the start of dawn to anticipate the comet’s rising. The comet, officially known as C/2020 F3, was spotted by NASA's NEOWISE satellite in March, as it made its initial approach to the sun. 2020 10 21 9.5 18 05 -27 19 1.380 1.500 63 Sgr 14 41 Box 500 Station A Toronto, ON Canada, M5W 1E6.
But it has recently brightened enough to be seen through binoculars. Assuming the comet starts the month around magnitude 9.5, it could be around magnitude 8.5 at the end of the month.
It’s also responsible for two annual meteor showers, one of which peaks this coming week—the Orionid meteor shower. It also passes within 0.46 au of Earth in late April 2021. As for Comet NEOWISE, it will make its closest approach to Earth on July 22 at a distance of 103 million kilometres. By Carl Hergenrother - 2020-October-7. Robert Weryk of the Pan-STARRS team was able to find observations taken on 11 nights in 2013 through 2016 as well as additional nights in 2020. I'm the editor of WhenIsTheNextEclipse.com and the author of "A Stargazing Program for Beginners: A Pocket Field Guide" (Springer, 2015), as well as many eclipse-chasing guides. If you would like to observe Comet NEOWISE from North America, it should be visible very low in the northeast, near the sunrise position, before dawn for several weeks centered on July 6. You may opt-out by. Among fainter comets to watch (10-12th mag) are departing comets C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) and C/2020 Q1 (Borisov) and inbound comet C/2020 S3 (Erasmus). “Fingers crossed that Comet NEOWISE will not die like Comets ATLAS and SWAN,” says Horálek. Nicolas Erasmus of the South African Astronomical Observatory discovered C/2020 S3 on September 17 with the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System) 0.5-m f/2 Schmidt at Mauna Loa, Hawaii. 2020 11 05 12.6 15 40 -17 55 2.477 3.425 14 Lib 0 0 The comet is known as Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE — or just NEOWISE for short. He was dead right, and in more ways than one—he died in 1742 before seeing his work come to fruition. "The tail can stretch for a million kilometres or more, and it's basically very reflective snowflakes and things like that. On September 28, Pete Carson reported a CCD magnitude of 14.6 to the COBS site. The comet got a special shout-out over the weekend from Bob Behnken, a NASA astronaut currently aboard the International Space Station after participating in the first launch of SpaceX Dragon Crew in May.
