New Comet Alert! ⠀ ⠀ Comet ATLAS is breaking up as it goes around the Sun, which is disappointing for all the sky watchers out there. ⠀ ⠀ The good news is that Comet SWAN has been discovered in images taken with SOHO. ⠀ ⠀ Comet SWAN (C/2020 F8) is expected to reach naked-eye visibility by mid-May low in the east at dawn. On April 13th it presents a bright, dense coma and a spike of a tail.⠀ ⠀ Credit: Rolando Ligustri⠀ ⠀ #comet #cometatlas #cometswan #skyandtelescope #science #space #planetaryscience #smallbodies #coma #tail
