Being able to see comets is not as anticipated
compared to seeing meteor showers,
which occur at least once every month
by a different group of meteorites.
Now, experts believe one particular comet,
the Atlas comet, will shine as bright as the moon
when it approaches the sun.
Express reports that the comet, which is also referred to
as C/2019 Y4, is expected to shine brightly
when it gets closer to the Sun.
The comet is currently within the vicinity of Mars’ orbit
and is expected to go nearer by the latter part of May.
By this time, ATLAS will be 0.25 astronomical units away
from the Sun, but the distance will shorten the closer it gets.
When ATLAS approaches the Sun,
scientists believe that the comet will shine as bright
as a waxing crescent moon.
According to the Space Weather website,
“The comet is about as bright as an 8th or 9th magnitude star.
That’s too dim to see with the naked eye but consider this:
The comet is hundreds of times bigger than astronomers
predicted when it was discovered 4 months ago...”
and that by May when the comet is closer to the Sun,
the comet will be as bright as a 1st magnitude star
or a waxing crescent moon.
For those who already want to see a glimpse of ATLAS before May,
astronomers or space enthusiasts will already be able
to see the comet with a mid-sized backyard telescope.
It is also encouraged to observe the comet as it gets brighter
the closer it gets to the Sun and look out for possible outbursts
that may happen in the coming weeks due to the volatile material
within the comet getting exposed by the increasing sunlight.
Although comets are usually observed,
there is a possibility that a comet may decide to strike Earth
instead of passing by it.
Asteroid and comet expert Dr. Steve Chesley previously revealed
what makes a comet dangerous,
especially if ever it decides to strike. Dr. Chesley
noted how comets usually were seen as a bad omen all throughout history
and explained that because comets move faster than asteroids,
they will cause more damage.
Aside from the speed, the size of the comet is also a concern,
as Dr. Chesley revealed that comets coming from deep space
would most likely be much larger.
