Here's an early sighting of sungrazing comet A11bP7I by the Virtual Telescope. Perihelion coming in 4 weeks!

I realize you have it with the constellations but do you have an edge on view so you can easily see which hemisphere is favored?

Here's a solar system edge-on view. This comet spends a grand total of 4 hours above the ecliptic. This favors the Southern Hemisphere, but the Northern hemisphere still gets a view.

Wow two comets in October! Will it be visible to the naked eye?

Appreciate the hard work, I cannot thank you enough for sharing all these amazing details ✨

@OakieJs and +1 comet

Yessss so cool!

This one will not survive perihelion, it'll pass too close to the Sun. But the animation is very nice!

Is there a risk of it being torn apart by the Sun as it swings by? Pretty close, very fast pass.

NASA Small-Body Database Lookup A11bP7I nothing? Your link show only a Earth?
