Description

Comet Atlas even though it is fragmented, we are tracking 5 Objects that are related Comet Atlas - C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS), C/2019 Y4-A (ATLAS), C/2019 Y4-B (ATLAS), C/2019 Y4-C (ATLAS) and C/2019 Y4-D (ATLAS). Current reported magnitude of Comet Altas is Mag 9-11. It is slowly fading away unfortunately.

Comet Panstarrs - C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS) is in one piece with a magnitude of 8.3 and Comet SWAN - C/2020 F8 (SWAN) with a magnitude of 9.3. Comet SWAN is expected to be Mag 6 on May 21, 2020. Even though Comet SWAN is mainly visible to the people in Southern Hemisphere, there is small opportunity to see this comet in Northern Hemisphere during the sunset time in May. I will post the latest update on the dates and times soon.
