Small, fuzzy, green-glowing comet centered in a field of stars.

A new #comet - C/2026 A1 (MAPS) - is brightening as it heads into the inner solar system. It’s a sungrazing comet that'll get scorchingly close to the sun in April. If it survives, it might put on a show in Earth's skies around Easter. Read more: buff.ly/9iazqDt

But the same heat and solar forces could also cause the comet’s nucleus to fracture or break apart completely. If it holds together, look low in the west just after sunset for a chance to catch one of the sky’s most spectacular sights.

Comet Halley's nucleus as seen by Giotto Comet Halley's nucleus as seen by Giotto

It's 40 years since the ESA Giotto mission flew by Comet Halley (1P/Halley) on 13th-14th March 1986 and returned our first photo of the nucleus of a comet. www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/20...

890-Comet 467P(Linear-Grauer) Astronomers using the 8.1 m Gemini South Telescope in Chile were excited by the fact that 467P (LINEAR-Grauer)’s Centaur like orbit had been changed as the nucleus emitted rocket like bursts of gases as it was warmed by the Sun. Inert inactive asteroids orbit the Sun following the law of gravity whereas active asteroids can emit little rocket like bursts of gas which can change their path about the Sun in interesting ways. It is important to study objects like 467P (LINEAR-Grauer) to make sure their path about the Sun doesn’t change to make them a threat to our home planet.

Rocky, roundish center with a glowing blue orb around it.

Is 3I/ATLAS having a party? ☄️🎉🔭 Astronomers found unusually high #methanol in interstellar #comet #3IATLAS ... basically, a space cocktail. Using ALMA in Chile, they discovered this comet has more alcohol than almost any of our solar system's comets.

Analysis Shows Interstellar Comet 3I/Atlas Contains High Levels of Methanol Comet 3I/Atlas, the third confirmed interstellar object, is leaving the solar system but has provided astronomers with valuable data about its unusual composition. Observations using the ALMA telescope in Chile reveal that the comet's coma is heavily enriched in methanol, an alcohol commonly found in fuels, at levels up to four times higher than typical solar system comets. This makes 3I/Atlas the second most methanol-rich comet ever recorded, following C/2016 R2. Additional analyses show significant amounts of carbon dioxide, iron, and nitrogen, indicating that the comet formed in a colder, more irradiated, or chemically distinct environment than most comets in our solar system. Researchers also classify 3I/Atlas as a hyperactive comet, meaning it releases more water vapor than its surface alone would allow, with some gas coming from sublimating ice grains in the coma. This behavior explains the high methanol content and confirms that the comet is a natural, extremely cold, and chemically complex object. Currently, the comet is moving away at a speed of 60 kilometers per second. Scientists anticipate that future interstellar object discoveries will become more common as observational technology improves.

379E-415-Well Done Once every 1,435 days , a 780 foot diameter space rock that my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Carson Fuls discovered makes an annihilation defying close approach to our star. At it's nearest point to the Sun, Carson's well done space rock is traveling at an amazing 93 miles per second and receives 26 times the amount of solar radiation that heats the surface of the planet Mercury to 800F. After Carson first discovered his heat resistant space rock traveling towards it's next hot date with the Sun, it was observed by telescopes in New Mexico, Arizona, Hawaii, and England. These data allowed scientists at the Minor Planet Center to calculate it's orbit around the Sun, estimate it's size, and give it the name 2017 TC1. 2017 TC1 crosses the orbits of Mars, Earth, Venus, and Mercury and can come relatively close to Jupiter on it's extremely elliptical orbit about the Sun. It is possible that in the very distant past the giant planet Jupiter's pull on 2017 TC1 sent it on it's current path around the Sun. In September of 2021, 2017 TC1 will once again be bright enough for asteroid hunters to track as it makes another close approach to our Sun. At this time astronomers with be able to measure the pattern of colors that 2017 TC1 reflects which will reveal it's surface chemical composition. Until then we are left to wonder how it is possible for a space rock to survive on such a harrowing path.
