C/2024 L5 (ATLAS) is a comet that was discovered on 14 June 2024 as A117uUD by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), South Africa, Sutherland.It will reach perihelion on 10 March 2025 at 3.432 AU (513.4 million km) from the Sun. [4] [5]
C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) is a partially disintegrated non-periodic comet, which reached perihelion on 13 January 2025, at a distance of 0.09 AU (13 million km) from the Sun. Dubbed the Great Comet of 2025 , it is currently the brightest comet of 2025, [ 6 ] with an apparent magnitude reaching −3.8 on the day of its perihelion. [ 5 ]
21P/Giacobini-Zinner will next pass perihelion on 25 March 2025, and will have its closest approach to Earth 4 days before, on 21 March. It is expected to brighten to magnitude ~11. [ 9 ]
Comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024) is predicted to be visible from parts of Earth throughout the month. On Jan. 13, the comet is expected to reach perihelion (its closest point to the Sun).
At perihelion, Earth is roughly 91.4 million miles away from the sun. On average, the planet is separated from the sun by a distance of approximately 93 million miles.
Intuitive Machines's lunar lander IM-2, carrying NASA-sponsored experiments and commercial rovers (Yaoki, AstroAnt, Micro-Nova and MAPP LV1) and payloads as a part of Commercial Lunar Payload Services program to Mons Mouton, was launched on 27 February 2025 on a Falcon 9 launch vehicle with Brokkr-2 and Lunar Trailblazer.
