A comet approaching the ground can be spotted by the naked eye next August

Majid Abu Zahra, President of the Jeddah Astronomical Society, said that the observation indicates that the recently discovered comet Pan Stars C / 2017 S3 has increased dramatically and should be visible to the naked eye in August.

He explained that since the beginning of July, the brightness of the comet has gone from (+12) to (+9), but the current time is still very low and invisible to the eye naked, but can be observed through the monitoring devices. That the comet is around him a cloud of gas called (Kuma) diameter of 260,000 kilometers, twice the width of Jupiter surrounds its structures and this makes it easy to monitor from the X

The comet is currently heading towards the sun of the Ort cloud in the outer part of the solar system, and it is his first visit to the solar system, so it is impossible to know what will happen when he will be exposed to the heat of the sun. 19659003] Previous estimates indicated that the brightness of the comet would reach (+4) which would mean that it would be barely visible to the naked eye from a dark place away from the lights of the cities, but an extra activity in the comet could make his vision very clear.

The comet was discovered on September 23, 2017 by a Pan-Star telescope atop Mount Ha The main objective of this telescope is to detect asteroids that can pose a threat to our planet with changing stars, starry stars and comets like this comet.

Due to the large amount of data available for the comet,

The comet will be located at the closest point to the sun on August 15 and is highly exposed to solar radiation.
