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.

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.

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

If you can brave the cold long enough to find a clear patch of night sky, you can watch two bright astronomical phenomena this December: the 46P/Wirtanen “Christmas comet” and the Geminid meteor shower. For the best chance, find a place away from light pollution, and look for a diffuse, dim area of light a little below the Pleiades. (The Pleiades are the stars that form a tiny cluster near Taurus, not far from the constellation Orion.

Oliver Price, a planetary science Ph.D. student at University College London's Mullard Space Science Laboratory in the United Kingdom, has developed a new image-processing technique to mine through the wealth of data about comet tails. Price's findings offer the first observations of striations forming in the tails, and an unexpected revelation about the Sun's effect on comet dust. Understanding how dust behaves in the tail -- how it fragments and clumps together -- can teach scientists a great deal about similar processes that formed dust into asteroids, moons and even planets all those billions of years ago. With this study, scientists gain new insights to long-held mysteries. The work sheds light on the nature of striated comet tails from the past and provides a crucial lens for studying other comets in the future. But it also opens a new line of questioning: What role did the Sun have in our solar system's formation and early history?

This short movie shares an impression of some of the scientific highlights from Rosetta's mission at Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, as told through the voices of scientists working with Rosetta's vast dataset, two years after the mission ended. Rosetta launched in 2004 and travelled for ten years to its destination before deploying the lander Philae to the comet's surface. Following the comet along its orbit around the Sun, Rosetta studied the comet's surface changes, its dusty, gassy environment and its interaction with the solar wind. Even though scientific operations concluded in September 2016 with Rosetta's own descent to the comet's surface, analysis of the mission's data will continue for decades. Credits: This is an ESA Web TV production. The video contains artist impressions of the spacecraft (credit: ESA/ATG medialab) and animations/infographics by ESA. Images of the comet are from Rosetta's OSIRIS and NAVCAM cameras, as well as Philae's CIVA camera (credits: ESA/Rosetta/MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/SSO/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA – CC BY SA 4.0; ESA/Rosetta/NavCam – CC BY-SA IGO 3.0; ESA/Rosetta/Philae/CIVA). Ground-based images were provided by Colin Snodgrass/Alan Fitzsimmons/Liverpool Telescope. The plasma visualisation is based on modelling and simulation by Technische Universität Braunschweig and Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, and visualised by Zuse-Institut Berlin. The animation of Philae's flight across the surface is based on data from Philae's ROMAP, RPC-MAG, OSIRIS, ROLIS, CIVA CONSERT, SESAME and MUPUS instrument teams, the Lander Control Centre at DLR and the Science Operation and Navigation Center at CNES.

So-called 'death comet' to do a fly-by around Halloween

On Sept. 2, 2016, the European Space Agency finally located Philae, its long-lost comet lander. Philae is a spacecraft about the size of a washing machine, and it was dropped off at Comet 67P by another spacecraft named Rosetta in November of 2014. But when its landing harpoons failed to deploy, it bounced all over the comet before tumbling into a shady place where its solar panels couldn't collect enough light. Philae did transmit some data to Rosetta while using the last of its batteries after the landing, and it occasionally made contact for months after the crash. Rosetta kept looking for Philae by flying around Comet 67P and taking photos. It took Rosetta almost two years to find Philae. A photo taken on Sept. 2, 2016 showed little Philae lying on its side in a dark, rocky crevice. Locating Philae's grave finally gave the European Space Agency some closure less than a month before Rosetta's mission came to an end with another epic crash landing on Comet 67P.

Subscribe to Naked Science – http://goo.gl/wpc2Q1 Did comets bring water, organic material, or even life itself to Earth? Panspermia is the controversial hypothesis that life exists throughout the Universe, distributed by meteoroids, asteroids, comets, planetoids, and also by spacecraft in the form of unintended contamination by microorganisms. Clip taken from the Naked Science documentary “Comets”. Watch it here – Coming soon!

Join +Fraser Cain and +Pamela Gay for a live episode of Astronomy Cast. We'll record our 30-minute show, and then stay tuned for them to answer questions! Another topic with plenty of updates. Since we started Astronomy Cast we've visited many smaller objects in the Solar System up close, from Ceres and Vesta to Pluto, not to mention a comet. What have we learned?

Comets are icy bodies that are releasing gasses. So what would it be like to stand on one ordinary comet? In this video i explain as to what it would be like to stand on Churyumov–Gerasimenko (or 67P), it is a normally sized comet that we have landed on with a lander called Philae.

April 26, 2018 Phillips Auditorium Kathrin Altwegg Universität Bern Host: Karin Oberg Abstract: After more than 12 years the Rosetta spacecraft crash-landed on comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko on September 30, 2016. It has traveled billions of kilometers, just to study a small (4 km diameter), black boulder named 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The results of this mission now seem to fully justify the time and money spent in the last decades on this endeavor. In the talk I will look back on the craziest mission ever flown by the European Space Agency and point out its technical challenges and scientific highlights. I will show how the results of this mission change our understanding about the formation of the solar system, the Earth and finally life itself.

NASA's asteroid-hunting NEOWISE survey uses infrared to detect and characterize asteroids and comets. Since the mission was restarted in December 2013, NEOWISE has observed or detected more than 29,000 asteroids in infrared light, of which 788 were near-Earth objects. The orbits of Mercury, Venus and Mars are shown in blue. Earth's orbit is in teal. Green dots represent near-Earth objects. Gray dots represent all other asteroids which are mainly in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Yellow squares represent comets. The survey depicted in the animation covers the period from December 13, 2013 to December 13, 2017.

Catastrophic collisions between comets do not always have to end in destruction. New research shows that some comets can collide and quickly reform within just a few days, or even hours.

"Like comets, these chunks of dry ice slowly disintegrate as they move. Comets are massive chunks of ice, frozen gases, and dust that orbit the Sun. As they near the Sun, these lonely travelers begin to give off gas, gradually shrinking and forming glowing tails that can stretch for millions of miles. Here, dry ice twirls in water just as comets move through space: ever changing and slowly dying until only fading clouds and memory remain."

NASA is going to decide between a comet sample return mission or a helicopter on Titan. Which mission should it be?

On January 2, 2004, NASA's Stardust spacecraft flew by comet Wild 2 to collect some comet dust and bring it back to Earth. Stardust was the first robotic sample return mission of its kind. It didn't land on the comet, but it flew close enough to collect dust grain samples from the comet's coma. This is the cloudy region around a comet where evaporating ice and other particles are blown away from the comet's surface, forming the comet's characteristic "tail." Stardust also took some photos of the comet's icy nucleus before bringing the dust samples back to Earth less than two weeks later.
