What is the current trajectory of the interstellar comet borisov? With finding of interstellar comet borisov and the interstellar object oumuamua how many more interstellar objects are there in our solar system. Could Jupiter hold a repository of interstellar objects waiting for us to study? Should SpaceX build on the moon before going to mars? We explore these questions and more in this current and coming age of space and science discovery with Matt Williams, author and science reporter at Universe Today.

LISA Pathfinder, a mission led by ESA (the European Space Agency) that included NASA contributions, successfully demonstrated technologies needed to build a future space-based gravitational wave observatory, a tool for detecting ripples in space-time produced by, among other things, merging black holes. A team of NASA scientists leveraged LISA Pathfinder's record-setting sensitivity for a different purpose much closer to home — mapping microscopic dust shed by comets and asteroids. Most of these particles, known as micrometeroids, have masses measured in micrograms, similar to a small grain of sand. But at speeds reaching 40,000 mph (64,000 kph), even micrometeoroids pack a punch. The NASA team, led by Ira Thorpe at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, detected 54 impacts during the mission, which lasted from 2015 to 2017. Modeling the strikes allowed the researchers to determine what kinds of objects shed the dust. The findings are broadly consistent with existing ideas of what generates micrometeroids found near Earth. The dusty culprits are mostly short-period comets whose orbits are determined by Jupiter. Comets with longer periods, like Halley’s comet, also contributed dust that LISA Pathfinder sensed. The new measurements could help refine dust models used by researchers in a variety of studies, from understanding the physics of planet formation to estimating impact risks for current and future spacecraft.

The interstellar comet, C/2019 Q4, is inbound toward the Sun, but it will remain farther than the orbit of Mars and will approach no closer to Earth than about 190 million miles (300 million kilometers)

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.

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.

In July 1994, astronomers around the world watched as the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 slammed into the planet Jupiter. NASA Science: http://science.nasa.gov/

25 years ago, humanity had its first glimpse of a cosmic collision when comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashed into Jupiter — and the whole world watched. We’ve seen evidence of impacts all throughout our solar system, but we had never before been able to watch an impact while it was happening. And, it was a wake-up call. Today NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office has its eyes to the sky detecting and tracking potentially hazardous and near-Earth objects.

For hundreds of thousands of years, humans looked to the stars and found their gods, their mythologies, and their beliefs. So when an unusual object appeared overhead like a comet, that was considered a harbinger of doom. Over time, we learned our place in the solar system and the universe and understood that comets were just icy objects in extremely long, elliptical orbits around the sun. But the question of where these came from always eluded us. Edmund Halley was the first to make this distinction with the comet that now bears his name. But it wasn't until Jan Oort in 1950, who proposed the idea that there must be a vast cloud of comets just outside the gravity well of the solar system that we finally understood where these comets came from. Today, astronomers are looking for proof of this cloud, not just around our star, but around other stars as well. The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope in Chile might be able to spot these when it comes on line in 2021.

There's a new comet in town and it goes by the name Comet Iwamoto (C/2018 Y1). The comet is traveling at a speed of 147,948 miles per hour. I was battling a lot of haze last night, but I kept my telescope pointed at this patch of sky for 50 minutes and captured a very speedy comet. This video is a processing tutorial on how to capture and animate a comet and also how to execute batch processes in PixInsight using the Image Container and Process Container.

Capturing comet 46P with a static tripod, tracked OTA and piggy backed lens We will discuss 3 potential ways of capturing a moving target, like comet 46P. The first will be using a static tripod, camera and lens to capture a wider field view. The second will be using a traditional tracked mount and OTA to capture a closer in view of the target. Lastly we will discuss the benefit of using a piggyback mount to add a different focal length to the OTA. We will discuss the software used to obtain and image the target, track the section of the sky and lastly some of the processing done to create the slideshows. All of this will be from a relatively novice perspective. Presented by Ryan Blankenship

Moving just above the constellation Taurus the Bull throughout the winter solstice period, lies a Christmas comet. Because of the glare of the waxing Moon, it will require a small pair of binoculars to see, but scanning the skies just above the bright star cluster of the Hyades, you’ll come across a dim, greenish patch of light: a small, short period comet known as 46P/Wirtanen Special Thanks to Alexander Reinders! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCddQGMUM5NUerv1mdPh3TdQ Listen to Deep Astronomy on Anchor: https://Anchor.fm/DeepAstronomy Created with Stellarium Open Source Software: http://www.stellarium.org/ Original Music - Mark C.

I will try for the comet again...and this time it won’t be as cloudy so come out and join me as I’ll do what it takes to get this comet..I’ll be taking calls from you the viewer...as we will all get to celebrate my birthday on stream before the big day (December 19th).....So tell your friends your neighbors and let’s celebrate and have a good time!!!!

Comet 46P/Wirtanen From Monday 17, 2018 6:00pm to January 1, 2019 as it travels threw the sky from Denver, Colorado. Video will play 4 times. Star field 6th magnitude.

Comet 46P Wirtanen In this video I photograph Comet 46P Wirtanen from my backyard. Comet 46P/Wirtanen is 2018’s brightest comet of the year, and will be the 10th closest approach of a comet in modern times. At its closest approach to us on December 16th, the comet will be approximately 30 times the distance of the moon from us is. On December 13th, 2018, I captured this icy snowball with a Canon 5D Mark II DSLR and a 300mm lens. The comet is currently heading towards the constellation Taurus, and can be seen with the naked eye from a dark sky location. iOptron SKyGuider Pro: https://www.ontariotelescope.com/product.asp?itemid=1164&Affid=2 Muisc by Aljosha Konstanty: https://music.aljoshakonstanty.com/ #comet46p
