Several important dates are approaching.
On March 5th, Comet Pan-STARRS makes its closest
approach to Earth (1.1 AU), followed on March 10th
by its closest approach to the sun (0.3 AU). As
Comet Pan-STARRS passes the sun, solar glare might
make it difficult to see even as the nucleus vaporizes
and brightens. By March 12th and 13th, the comet
will reappear in the sunset skies of the northern
hemisphere not far from the crescent Moon; think
photo-op! Light
curves suggest that the comet's brightness will
peak near 2nd magnitude, similar to the stars of
the Big Dipper. Check the realtime
comet gallery for the latest images.
