Comet SWAN25B Emerges From The Sun And Surprises Everyone! A bright comet has emerged from behind the sun, surprising astronomers. Introducing, Comet SWAN25B which just came out of no where
"The comet is magnitude 7.5, bright enough to see with backyard telescopes "This is our confirmation image taken just a couple hours ago via the Spaceflux network."
The comet is named after the SWAN camera onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). Amateur astronomer Vladimir Bezugly noticed the comet in online images. SWAN is a special camera that maps hydrogen in the solar wind, which suggests this comet may be rich in the element.
The comet's orbit is still being determined. Initial astrometry suggests it has already passed through perihelion (its closest approach to the sun). Next, it might make a close approach to Earth (0.25 AU) in October.
The comet's future visibility remains unknown. It might be on the verge of falling apart--or poised for a good show as it approaches our planet. Observations in the days ahead will tell us more about its prospects. For current coordinates, check the Minor Planet Center's Possible Comet Confirmation Page.

Comet SWAN-25B emerges from the sun
and surprises everyone.
A bright new comet has emerged from behind the sun.
Astounding astronomers.
Introducing Comet SWAN-25B, which came out of nowhere.
The comet is a magnitude 7.5.
Bright enough to see with a backyard telescope.
This is our confirmation image taken just
a couple of hours ago via the Space Flux Network.
Comet is named after the Swan Camera on board the Solar
and Heliospheric Observatory, better known as SOHO.
I did go to SOHO and it's not visible.
Amateur astronomer Vladimir...
Buzz Ugly noticed the comet in online images.
Too strange because I can't see it.
SWAN is a special camera that maps hydrogen in the solar wind.
This suggests that the comet would be rich in hydrogen.
The comet's orbit is still being determined.
Astronomy suggests that it has already passed the perihelion,
its closest approach to the Sun.
Next, it looks like it's going to make a close approach
to Earth at less than 0.25 astronomical units in October.
But of course, the comet's future visibility remains unknown.
It might be on the verge of falling apart.
Poised for a good show as it approaches our planet.
Observations in the days ahead will tell us more about its prospects.
I did jump over to the minorplanetcenter.com so I can give you all
the coordinates here.
And, well, here they are.
Obviously, Swan 25B is the top line just discovered here.
I'll let y'all take a second in case you want
to copy this information down.
Tell me, it's hard to believe a comet that shines
this bright wasn't seen on its way behind the sun.
Again, supposedly making a close approach
to Earth in October at 0.25 astronomical units.
God bless. Please share and subscribe,
