Comet C/2018 W2 (Africano) which is the brightest comet of 2019 coming pretty close tonight (and the next couple of weeks). Regards, Ray Astrophotography #Comet #C2018W2 #live_event

A newly discovered comet has excited the astronomical community this week because it appears to have originated from outside the solar system. The object — designated C/2019 Q4 (Borisov) — was discovered on Aug. 30, 2019, by Gennady Borisov at the MARGO observatory in Nauchnij, Crimea. The official confirmation that comet C/2019 Q4 is an interstellar comet has not yet been made, but if it is interstellar, it would be only the second such object detected. The first, 'Oumuamua, was observed and confirmed in October 2017. The new comet, C/2019 Q4, is still inbound toward the Sun, but it will remain farther than the orbit of Mars and will approach no closer to Earth than about 300 million kilometers. After the initial detections of the comet, Scout system, which is located at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, automatically flagged the object as possibly being interstellar. Davide Farnocchia of NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies at JPL worked with astronomers and the European Space Agency's Near-Earth Object Coordination Center in Frascati, Italy, to obtain additional observations. He then worked with the NASA-sponsored Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to estimate the comet's precise trajectory and determine whether it originated within our solar system or came from elsewhere in the galaxy. The comet is currently 420 million kilometers from the Sun and will reach its closest point, or perihelion, on Dec. 8, 2019, at a distance of about 300 million kilometers. Currently on an inbound trajectory, comet C/2019 Q4 is heading toward the inner solar system. On Oct. 26, it will pass through the ecliptic plane — the plane in which Earth and the other planets orbit the Sun — from above at roughly a 40-degree angle. C/2019 Q4 was established as being cometary due to its fuzzy appearance, which indicates that the object has a central icy body that is producing a surrounding cloud of dust and particles as it approaches the Sun and heats up. Its location in the sky (as seen from Earth) places it near the Sun — an area of sky not usually scanned by the large ground-based asteroid surveys or NASA's asteroid-hunting NEOWISE spacecraft. Observations completed by astronomers indicate the comet nucleus is somewhere between 2 and 16 kilometers in diameter. Astronomers will continue collect observations to further characterize the comet's physical properties (size, rotation, etc.) and also continue to better identify its trajectory.

We may have a visitor from interstellar space from outside our solar system. Is this another Oumuamua ? I will be watching this with my telescopes and will provide updates to you all frequently. Please stay turned for new information. This is called Comet C/2019 Q4 Borisov. Gennady Borisov's 4th comet discoverly using a custom telescope.

Astronomers believe they've found an interstellar visitor according to NASA, almost two years after the first, Oumuamua. Interstellar means that the object originated from outside of our solar system and appears to be coming from the direction of the galactic plane in Cassiopeia. On August 30, Gennady Borisov spotted a new comet while at the MARGO observatory in Crimea. After this initial observation, the Scout system at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory also flagged the object as possibly originating from outside of our solar system. The comet is making its way toward our sun. Currently, it's 260 million miles away from our sun and will make its closest approach on December 8. The comet's current velocity is high, about 93,000 mph, which is well above the typical velocities of objects orbiting the Sun at that distance. The high velocity indicates not only that the object likely originated from outside our solar system, but also that it will leave and head back to interstellar space. The object, now known as C/2019 Q4 (Borisov), hasn't officially been confirmed to have an origin point outside of our solar system yet.

Discovered by an amateur astronomer, the inbound object is only the second of its kind yet detected. In the sleepy predawn hours of August 30, a Ukrainian amateur astronomer named Gennady Borisov spotted a strange comet zooming through our solar system. Now, astronomers have provisionally verified that the object, named C/2019 Q4 (Borisov), is moving too fast for it to be captured by the sun’s gravity—a sign that it’s most likely an interstellar interloper. If these results continue to hold, C/2019 Q4 would be just the second visitor from another star system ever detected, after the 2017 discovery of the enigmatic space rock known as 'Oumuamua. While its origins are not yet entirely certain, C/2019 Q4 is a confirmed comet. Already, astronomers have detected that the object—which is probably a couple miles across—has a coma, the fuzzy sheath of dust and gas that forms as sunlight heats up a comet’s icy surface. That means scientists will be able to collect much more data on its composition than they could for 'Oumuamua. For one, C/2019 Q4 is bigger and brighter, which offers more opportunities to study its light and tease out chemical clues. What’s more, astronomers discovered 'Oumuamua only on its way out of the solar system—but C/2019 Q4 is still inbound. It will make its closest approach to the sun on December 7, and it will come closest to Earth, within 180 million miles, on December 29. “This is the first highly active object that we've seen coming in from something that formed around another star,” says Michele Bannister, an astronomer at Queen’s University Belfast. Bannister adds that observations of C/2019 Q4 can't pick up in earnest until mid-October, due to its position relative to the blinding sun. But then for months to come, astronomers will turn their gaze skyward to get what may be their best look yet at an interstellar visitor. “What’s really fantastic is that this thing should be observable for a year,” says Matthew Holman, interim director of the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center, which issued the verification of C/2019 Q4’s path through space Wednesday evening. “We get to see one little bit of another solar system,” he adds, “and without necessarily knowing which one it came from, that’s exciting.” Very eccentric. Borisov, a veteran comet hunter, found C/2019 Q4 by focusing his observations at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory on the low horizon to the northeast, in a patch of sky near the constellation Gemini. Astronomers tend to avoid peering into these “bright” patches of sky near the horizon, as they're difficult to see in, and can damage telescopes’ sensitive optics. Early reports of Borisov’s discovery made waves among astronomers. Quanzhi Ye at the University of Maryland first learned of the comet on Sunday, after a colleague commented on the object’s bizarre orbital track on a group email. Ye also noticed that Scout, a comet and asteroid-tracking service run by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, kept calculating that the object didn’t seem to have a circular or elliptical orbit. In particular, Ye grew fascinated with one of the comet’s orbital parameters: its eccentricity. If an orbit’s eccentricity is zero, the object traces a perfect circle around its home star. The more elongated and narrow the orbit, the closer the eccentricity gets to one. If an object in our solar system has an eccentricity greater than one, it means the object has an arc-shaped trajectory and is making a one-time visit. The Minor Planet Center says that C/2019 Q4’s eccentricity exceeds three. According to Ye, it’s unlikely that C/2019 Q4 was a comet that formed on the edge of the solar system and somehow got nudged into an escape trajectory. To get this kind of jolt, a comet would need to come close to an object large enough to alter its course, like a planet. But as far as astronomers know, C/2019 Q4 couldn’t have come anywhere near such usurpers within our solar system. The planets’ orbits around the sun more or less align in the same plane, but C/2019 Q4 appears to be dive-bombing the solar system at a 44-degree angle. “That’s why we say that gravitationalperturbations are almost impossible,” Ye says. Telescope time. Astronomers estimate that at any given time, there's an interstellar comet or asteroid somewhere within the orbit of Mars, and 10,000 or so within the orbit of Neptune—but these objects are tiny and extremely faint, making them nearly impossible to see.

Wednesday was a double whammy for big astronomy news with 2 groups both announcing the discovery of water in the atmosphere of a small exoplanet named K2 18b while solar system astronomers announced that a recently discovered comet came from interstellar space. The comet C/2019 Q4 Borisov is a pretty big deal for me because the previous interstellar object was small, bizarre and only visible for a short time. This time it's a much large object that's an active comet and will be visible to telescopes for a lot longer. The discovery of water in the atmosphere of K2 18b shouldn't be taken as some sign that it's habitable, because the planet is so large it likely has a thick crushing atmosphere at its surface, but it's a good sign that there may be more objects out there holding on to atmospheres while orbiting in the non-uninhabitable zone of M class stars.

Brandon Lawton of the Space Telescope Science Institute For thousands of years, astronomers have employed increasingly precise angular measures to track the positions of stars in the night sky. The invention of the telescope, just a few hundred years ago, greatly expanded our view beyond what the human eye could see. Technology, in the forms of photography, electronics, digital detectors, and computer analysis, brought revolutions to our capabilities and knowledge. Join us for an exploration of the modern tools and methods used by astronomers with highlights of the recent results they have enabled. In addition, get acquainted with several hands-on tools that you can use to explore authentic NASA data.

www.eyesonthesky.com Looking in towards the core of our Milky Way galaxy, our night sky can seem positively littered with deep sky objects: Clusters, nebulae, thousands upon thousands of stars. But to hunt down and find some of the more interesting ones, we have to starhop our way past a few (such as M28, NGC 6603 and M18). Messier 17 is one of the brightest star-forming regions in our galaxy - perhaps better than the Orion Nebula, but that one is closer and therefore appears brighter. Yet the "Swan Nebula" is definitely worth seeking out despite being 5,500 light years away. Here's how to track it down and observe it successfully. See what's up in the night sky every week with "Eyes on the Sky" videos, astronomy made easy.

How can scientists study galaxies so far away that they’re beyond the reach of the most powerful space telescopes? They take advantage of natural cosmic telescopes called gravitational lenses, illustrated in this new video. Using the Webb telescope like a time machine, astronomers will peer back billions of years to study how stars like our Sun formed in the early universe. Astronomers will examine the lensed, magnified light from very distant galaxies that are at or near the peak of star formation. Learn how: https://go.nasa.gov/2zdvGKm Credits: L. Hustak (STScI)

A slightly deeper dive into what makes the UAT different (and better) than the old keyword system.

www.eyesonthesky.com A couple of weeks ago I mentioned these two double stars, but quickly glossed past them to get to M56. In this video, I spend some time talking about how best to observe both the wide double Delta1 / Delta2 Lyrae, and the much more famous and harder to split "Double/Double" of Epsilon Lyrae. Both are worth a look! See what's up in the night sky every week with "Eyes on the Sky" videos, astronomy made easy.

www.eyesonthesky.com The Perseid meteor shower for 2019 is not well-timed with respect to the phase of the Moon. However, some Perseids can be quite bright, and there are a few other strategies you can employ to have the best chance of seeing a few of these fast-moving flashes of light in the summer sky.

When it comes to telescopes, bigger is better. That's why we're investing billions of dollars into a new generation of "extremely large telescopes", such as the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). But is 30 meters truly extreme? Could it be possible to ever build a telescope on the scale of a planet? In a new research paper by our very own Professor David Kipping, a solution for turning the Earth into a "Terrascope" is presented. Join us on a journey though the history of telescope inventions as well David's own personal journey to devising this new radical approach to the telescope.

What can you see this month? In the August sky, look for the "shooting stars" of the annual Perseid meteor shower for some stargazing delights, but be warned — the bright Moon will overwhelm the fainter meteors this year. Plus, the Moon's evening visits to Jupiter and Saturn. Additional information about topics covered in this episode of What's Up, along with still images from the video, and the video transcript, are available at https://go.nasa.gov/2KijnRU

Clarence Spencer teaches the 2019 Nightscaper Conference everything we ever wanted to know about Cameras modified for Astrophotography! Get better reds and color out of your nebulae and low-contrast deep sky objects! Bring out detail in your core without high ISO if that is what you love. Basically, get the MOST YOU CAN out of your Astrophotography camera by modding it. In fact, the crazy unexpected favorite modifcation Clarence offers at Spencer's Camera & Photo is the AA filter! At the conference we all thought even more about modifying our camera when we saw the change when the AA filter was removed! Go to 42:42 and tell me what you think!

Join astrophysicist Dr. Paige Godfrey on Monday, June 10 beginning at 8 p.m. EDT (00:00UTC) for one of our favorite astronomical events of the year --- the mighty gas giant Jupiter at opposition. Our host will explain what we are seeing through our telescopes at both the Canary Islands and Chile observatories as we focus on our Solar System’s largest planet throughout the night. Being in opposition means that Earth will pass between Jupiter and the Sun and we will get one of the closest and longest looks we have of the planet all year as it is visible all night long. Jupiter won’t be the only focus. The last time Slooh covered this event on April 7, 2017, there were only 67 known moons orbiting Jupiter. Today we know of at least 79, and the Galilean satellites, the four largest moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Calisto will be part of the show as well. Remember that the enormity and brightness of Jupiter make its moons appear tiny in comparison, but these objects are some of the largest known bodies after the Sun and planets in our Solar System. We will be able to see all four moons as they orbit the planet, with Io (the closest moon) passing behind Jupiter during the second half of the night (known as an occultation). Jupiter makes one complete rotation on its axis in just under ten hours (a Jovian day), so this makes for a quickly changing backdrop and allows Slooh’s experts to explain many of the Jovian features we will see that night, including the largest storm in the Solar System - the Great Red Spot. By the end of the night, members will be able to map the entire surface of the planet using the images they capture from the Chile telescopes.
