168P/Hergenrother Outburst


Recommended Posts

This comet that's been in the news lately with next year's predictions of a spectacular display has suddenly had an outburst of matter and has brightened from 15th mag. to around 10th mag. So now's the time for a quick preview of the comet with just moderate sized scopes. Details and a finder chart are at the link below.

Interesting that. Let's hope it doesn't jettison all its outflow before it gets here next year - I'm looking forward to that :smiley:

Eh? It passed perihelion on 1st October and will be long gone by next year. Back again in 2019, though!

That's what I thought. There are two or three others on their way next year though, IIRC.
