C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) (or Comet ATLAS) was a comet with a near-parabolic orbit discovered by the ATLAS survey on December 28, 2019. [3] Early predictions based on the brightening rate suggested that the comet could become as bright as magnitude 0 matching the brightness of Vega. [4] It received widespread media coverage due to its dramatic increase ...
C/2019 U6 (Lemmon), or Comet Lemmon is a long period comet with a near-parabolic orbit discovered by the Mount Lemmon Survey on October 31, 2019. [2] It made its closest approach to the Sun on June 18, 2020. In June 2020 it was visible near the naked eye limit at an apparent magnitude of 6.0. [3] It is the 3rd brightest naked eye comet of 2020 ...
Comet NEOWISE. C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) or Comet NEOWISE is a long period comet with a near-parabolic orbit discovered on March 27, 2020, by astronomers during the NEOWISE mission of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope. At that time, it was an 18th-magnitude object, located 2 AU (300 million km; 190 million mi) away from ...
2I/Borisov, originally designated C/2019 Q4 (Borisov), [8] is the first observed rogue comet and the second observed interstellar interloper after ʻOumuamua. [9] [10] It was discovered by the Crimean amateur astronomer and telescope maker Gennadiy Borisov on 29 August 2019 UTC (30 August local time).

C/2019 Y1 (ATLAS) is a comet with a near-parabolic orbit discovered by the ATLAS survey on 16 December 2019. It passed perihelion on 15 March 2020 at 0.84 AU from the Sun. [1] Its orbit is very similar to C/1988 A1 (Liller) , C/1996 Q1 (Tabur) , C/2015 F3 (SWAN) and C/2023 V5 (Leonard) , suggesting they may be fragments of a larger ancient comet.
0.869 AU (130.0 million km) Comet total. magnitude (M1) 6.9. C/2021 T4 (Lemmon) is an inbound long period comet discovered by the Mount Lemmon Observatory on 7 October 2021. [2] This passage through the planetary region of the Solar System will reduce the orbital period from millions of years to thousands of years. [1]
