Comet K2 PanSTARRS Still a Fine Binocular Comet Through Late 2022 - here's Astroguyz on a comet to follow through 2023:
The orbit of the comet is likely dynamically new, which explains its tempestuous behavior while it’s still far from the Sun. K2 PanSTARRS will reach perihelion 1.8 AU later this year on December 19. This passage will also shorten its orbit down to ‘only’ 18,000 years, with an outbound aphelion 1400 AU distant.Had comet K2 PanSTARRS entered deep into the inner solar system like Hale-Bopp in the late 1990s, then we would be in for aspectacular show.
This means that the time for northern hemisphere observers to check out comet K2 PanSTARRS is now, before we lose it in the southern sky. In early August, the comet rides high to the south around 9 PM local.Comet K2 PanSTARRS already passed some red-letter dates in early July, as it passed 1.
