Comet ATLAS brightness

This comet’s rate of increase in brightness is somewhat troubling to some astronomers. That’s brighter than Venus. As with all comets, unpredictable things can happen. Just when we thought it was all over for Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) the comet starts to brighten again. To find the last naked eye comet visible in the Northern Hemisphere, you would have to go right back to March 2013 when Comet PanSTARRS put on a show just after sunset low on the western horizon. For photographers out there, this is an ideal target although take note of it’s large size (especially if an elongated tail grows). It is possible that by mid-April, the comet will reach naked eye brightness but this is anybody’s guess. Rolando Ligustri (CARA Project, CAST) It reached magnitude +1 making both nucleus and tail an easy naked target after sunset. Due to both its brightness, easy viewing location and longevity, this comet captured the imagination of observers around the whole of the Northern Hemisphere (most especially through the balmy summer months of 1997).At the time of writing comet C/2019 Y4 is at 8th magnitude making the object easily visible in modest-sized backyard telescopes as a fuzzy ball. This area of the sky is circumpolar meaning Comet ATLAS will remain above the horizon. Originally, predictions were that Comet Atlas would peak at somewhere around magnitude 9. This would of meant yet another mediocre comet to be noticed only by telescope owners. [UPDATE 07-Apr-2020]: Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) is Discovered on 28 December, 2019, Comet ATLAS was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System survey in Hawaii. Estimates for Comet Atlas’ brightness in May range from magnitude +1 to -5. Through the end of March in to April the comet will move in to Camelopardalis and stay steady. C/2019 Y4 is a comet with a near-parabolic orbit discovered by the ATLAS survey on December 28, 2019. Recent observations have surprised astronomers as the comet has rapidly increased in brightness since its discovery in December. Here I document a steady increase in the brightness of the central condensation over 4 … In mid-May, comet ATLAS appeared very diffuse even in a telescop

Around March 22, 2020, the comet started disintegrating. Since its discovery, ATLAS has surprised astronomers by increasing in brightness. We’ve heard anything from magnitude +2 to a spectacular magnitude -11 which would take the comet way past the brightness of Venus.

It’s a seemingly impossible rate of brightness to maintain all the way to Perihelion. For the last truly ‘great’ naked eye comet, you would have to go back almost quarter of a century when the world was treated to Comet Hale-Bopp which was visible throughout 1996-1997 for a period of about 18 months. Bright Comets of 2020Comet ATLAS Latest: Disintegrating Given the fuzzball’s predicted close proximity to the Sun in May, it could just fizzle out and die. Below we provide Comet C/2019 Y1 (ATLAS) finder charts showing where the object is right now in the sky with respect to the brightest stars. The comet continues to fade and did not reach naked eye visibility. Comments are closed. Currently, the icy space object is around 20 arcminutes wide (the full Moon is 30 arminutes). In good conditions and dark skies, the comet should also be visible in supported binoculars. However, things changed when astronomers realised the incredible rate of brightness increase.

However, it was very faint.

This comet has sparked some attention as for the first time in years, we might have a comet that will put on a spectacular show. Comet ATLAS (C/2019 Y4) Position and Finder Charts. The first finder chart has a field of view of 50 degrees, while the second one has a field of view of 10 degrees.
