This unique spiral galaxy, which is situated 3.2 billion light-years from the Earth, has an extended stream of bright blue knots and diffuse wisps of young stars. [2] It rushes at 3.6 million km/h (1000km/s [2]) through the cluster Abell 2667 and therefore, like a comet, shows a tail, with a length of 600,000 light-years.
The comet’s closest approach to earth was Oct. 11 or 12, and as it climbs higher in the sky each night, it will slowly fade from view. But there is still time to catch a glimpse of it.
Vulpecula / v ʌ l ˈ p ɛ k j ʊ l ə / is a faint constellation in the northern sky. Its name is Latin for "little fox", although it is commonly known simply as the fox.It was identified in the seventeenth century, and is located in the middle of the Summer Triangle (an asterism consisting of the bright stars Deneb, Vega, and Altair).
Comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024) is predicted to be visible from parts of Earth throughout the month. On Jan. 13, the comet is expected to reach perihelion (its closest point to the Sun).
The comet was projected to come into view in mid-October, and already, FOX31 viewers across Colorado have spotted the rare sight. Some viewers in Loveland, Steamboat and South Park photographed ...
By July 30, the comet was about magnitude 5, [11] when binoculars were required near urban areas to locate the comet. For observers in the Northern Hemisphere, the comet could be seen on the northwestern horizon, below the Big Dipper. North of 45 degrees north, the comet was visible all night in mid-July 2020.
To locate C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, face southwest and look roughly 10 degrees above the horizon to find the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpio. The comet should be visible between them.
Abell 2667 is a galaxy cluster. It is one of the most luminous galaxy clusters in the X-ray waveband known at a redshift about 0.2 and is a well-known gravitational lens . On 2 March 2007, a team of astronomers reported the detection of the Comet Galaxy in this cluster.
