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 ]
A time-lapse of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) captured on 10 May 2024. By January 2024, the comet had brightened to an apparent magnitude of 13.6 and according to Bob King, author in Sky & Telescope magazine, was visible through 15-inch telescopes at ×142 magnification. [10]
Cloud Atlas is a 2012 epic science fiction film written and directed by the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer. [8] Based on the 2004 novel by David Mitchell , it has multiple plots occurring during six eras and features an ensemble cast who perform multiple roles across these time periods.
"Comet ATLAS" may also be an incomplete reference to a comet co-discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System survey. These include: C/2019 F1 (ATLAS–Africano) C/2020 K8 (Catalina–ATLAS) C/2022 A3 (Lemmon–ATLAS) C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS), also known as the Great Comet of 2024
By definition, a hyperbolic orbit means that the comet will only travel through the Solar System once, with the Sun acting as a gravitational slingshot, sending the comet hurtling out of the Solar System entirely unless its eccentricity is otherwise changed. Comets orbiting in this way still originate from the Solar System, however.
60P/Tsuchinshan, also known as Tsuchinshan 2, is a periodic comet in the Solar System with an orbital period of 6.79 years. [5] Tsuchinshan is the Wade-Giles transliteration corresponding to the pinyin Zǐjīn Shān 紫金山, which is Mandarin Chinese for "Purple Mountain".
C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) (previously had the temporary designation A11bP7I) was a sungrazing comet that was discovered from the ATLAS–HKO in Hawaii on 27 September 2024. The comet passed its perihelion on 28 October 2024, at a distance of about 0.008 AU (1.2 million km; 0.74 million mi) from the barycenter of the Solar System, [ 1 ] and disintegrated.
