Comet 8P Tuttle - December 16th 2007
Comet 8P Tuttle - December 16th 2007
Distance 0.3948 AU (59.1 million km) - magnitude 13.1 Méchain discovered this comet in the evening sky near Omicron Piscium in January 1790. Several very famous observers, including Charles Messier and William Herschel, observed the comet over the next three weeks. 2007/2008 will be a good apparition for this comet and on January 2nd 2008 it will be within 0.25 AU of Earth. The comet should then be an easy binocular object. http://www.martin-nicholson.info/tuttle/tuttle.htm Martin Nicholson, Daventry, England. http://www.martin-nicholson.info/1/1a.htm Visit the Astronomical Hall of Shame at http://www.geocities.com/queen5658/ |
