A recently discovered comet that some stargazers had hoped to see during Halloween week has disintegrated before the day of ghosts and ghouls. NASA confirmed Tuesday its sun-observing spacecraft captured the moment when the comet Atlas broke into chunks this week as it passed close to the sun.
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.
Comet ATLAS (C/2024 S1) was first spotted on Sept. 27 this year. It is expected to be visible from Earth in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres between Oct. 24 and Nov. 1 as it makes its way ...
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 ]
Observations and conclusions concerning ʻOumuamua's trajectory were primarily obtained with data from the Pan-STARRS1 Telescope, part of the Spaceguard Survey, [43] and the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), and its composition and shape from the Very Large Telescope and the Gemini South telescope in Chile, [44] and the Keck II telescope in Hawaii.
