For the first time in over 400 years! New Comet Discovered Best Observation in the Northern Hemisphere Next Week

Release time:Apr 16, 2024 17:25 PM

A newly discovered comet is currently galloping through the solar system, and astronomy enthusiasts in the northern hemisphere are expected to discover this green comet in the night sky this weekend, marking the first time in over 400 years.

According to Agence France Presse on the 6th, the comet is numbered C/2023 P1 and its size is currently uncertain. A Japanese astronomy enthusiast discovered it in August, so it was named "Nishimura Comet" after the discoverer's surname.

Comet Nishimura is currently passing through space at a speed of nearly 390000 kilometers per hour and is expected to pass Earth at its closest distance of 125 million kilometers on the 12th. Afterwards, it will continue to approach the sun and is expected to be closest to the sun around the 17th, even closer than the planet Mercury, which is closest to the sun.

Paris Observatory astrophysicist Nicolas Bive said that few comets are most clearly visible in such a short period of time after their discovery. Most comets only move to positions close to the Sun and easy to observe after being discovered for months or even years.

Bi Wei said that this comet only passes through the Sun once every 437 years, and spends most of the rest of its time in the cold space of the outer solar system.

When a comet approaches the sun, the dust and ice that form the nucleus sublimate, forming a long tail. Huiwei reflects sunlight, making it observable from Earth.

Italian astronomer Gianluca Massey said that next week is the best and final time to observe Comet Nishimura from the northern hemisphere, after which it will "disappear into the sunlight.". If Comet Nishimura does not disintegrate when it passes over the sun at close range, people in the southern hemisphere can still see it in the night sky before the end of September.

The best time to observe Comet Nishimura is about an hour after sunset or before dawn, and it can be seen towards the night sky less than 10 degrees northeast of the horizon, near the constellation Leo. Paul Jordas, a researcher at NASA's Near Earth Object Research Center, said that Comet Nishimura is visible to the naked eye, but can be seen more clearly with binoculars. He said that the last time Comet Nishimura passed over Earth, Galileo had not yet invented a telescope.

The moon is a close neighbor of our blue planet and a transit station for humanity to move further into deep space. At present, China is carrying out the fourth phase of lunar exploration project. Not long ago, China also had a schedule for manned lunar landing. The new generation of manned rockets in China is expected to make its first flight in 2027, and it will also achieve the first Chinese landing on the moon before 2030. Aerospace development prioritizes power. Recently, the main engine of China's manned lunar landing rocket, the 130 ton pump rear swing liquid oxygen kerosene engine, developed by the Sixth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, completed its sixth test on the test bench. The cumulative test time of the engine reached 3300 seconds, and the working time exceeded 10 times the task time. This verified the reliability of the engine's operation and once again set a new record for single test of China's 100 ton engine. How difficult is the development of rocket high thrust engines? by

Jing Jianfeng stated that 32 years have passed since the Cold War, and the United States has not only failed to eliminate remnants of the Cold War such as the "Five Eyes Alliance" and bilateral military alliances, but has also concocted a "quadrilateral mechanism" and trilateral security partners, dividing camps and provoking confrontation based on ideology.
