Comets Panstarrs and Lemmon
Comets Panstarrs and Lemmon
Today, the eyes of the whole world are placed in heaven .... what is the reason? Two comets cross the firmament approaching the Sun C / 2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) and C / 2012 F6 (LEMMON), which are already visible to the naked eye, and which have us all as they could be seen as bright or more the planet Venus.
Comet C / 2011 L4 (PANSTARRS), is a non-periodic comet discovered
in June 2011, which is being observed these days as it
finds near its predicted perihelion for this month of March
2013. The comet was discovered using the Pan-STARRS telescope located
near the summit of Haleakala, on the island of Maui in Hawaii.
This comet will be closest to Earth during the first days of March, at a
distance of 1.10 AU equivalent to 150 million kilometers (93
millions of miles) although it will not be very close, since it will not be closer
of what the Earth is from the Sun.
Then on March 10, the comet will be closest to the Sun, at a
distance of 0.30 AU equivalent to 45 million kilometers (28
millions of miles). The
kites are usually brighter and more active during the time
in which they are closest to the Sun. By then, the comet should shine and develop the classic tail
long, the tail of dust, which is generated when the solar heating vaporizes the ice and the dust of the
outer crust of the comet, giving way to an increase in the intensity of this.

Comet C / 2012 F6 (LEMMON) that currently crosses the southern skies, is named after it was discovered last year as part of the Mount Lemmon (Arizona) Survey. It has an impressive lime-green comma and a thin split tail. The greenish hue comes from the diatomic C2 gas fluorescence that the coma gives off under sunlight.
While moving north, the comet should shine every
again and reach a maximum (approximately 3 magnitude) at the end of March, when it is closer to the sun. At the beginning of April it should be visible from the northern hemisphere.
This year, the comet Lemmon, along with Panstarrs and Ison will make their way near our Sun and at the same time they will offer a fabulous celestial spectacle that no observer of the sky of planet Earth should miss.
