Five Bright Comets from SOHO
發表日期:2024-10-10
在這些板塊中比較了五顆明亮的彗星,它們是由壽命長、盯著太陽的 SOHO 太空飛行器上的日冕儀記錄下來的。按照時間順序排列,所有彗星都可以透過它們在每個視場中心遠離太陽的尾巴辨認出來,在那裡,直接看到明亮無比的太陽被日冕儀的掩星盤擋住了。每顆彗星都令地球上的觀天者難忘,從左上角的麥克諾特彗星開始,它是 21 世紀最亮的彗星(迄今為止)。C/ 2023 A 3 "土山-阿特拉斯 "彗星正在接近近日點,下方中央是活躍的太陽,它最近吸引了全球彗星觀測者的注意。到 2024 年 10 月底,空白的第 6 面板可能會被明亮的彗星 C/ 2024 S 1 Atlas 填滿。......或者不是。
原文:Five bright comets are compared in these panels, recorded by a coronograph on board the long-lived, sun-staring SOHO spacecraft. Arranged chronologically all are recognizable by their tails streaming away from the Sun at the center of each field of view, where a direct view of the overwhelmingly bright Sun is blocked by the coronagraph's occulting disk. Each comet was memorable for earthbound skygazers, starting at top left with Comet McNaught, the 21st century's brightest comet (so far). C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas, approaching its perihelion with the active Sun at bottom center, has most recently grabbed the attention of comet watchers around the globe. By the end of October 2024, the blank 6th panel may be filled with bright sungrazer comet C/2024 S1 Atlas. ... or not.
