Comet 10P/Tempel 2 visible now, displaying rare dust trail

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Comet 10P/Tempel 2 is currently visible through binoculars and small telescopes as it makes its pass through the inner solar system. The comet, discovered in 1873 and similar in size to Halley's Comet, will reach its closest point to Earth on August 3rd. Observers can find it in the constellation Capricornus, and it is notable for displaying a thin dust trail that appears edge-on due to Earth's current position in its orbital plane. AI
