Comet Atlas: New Photos Show Object Breaking Apart As It Death Dives Towards the Sun

by mosesman

  • Comet Atlas or its fragments will be closest to Earth around 23 May 2020 about 94 million kilometres away. It will be closest to the sun around 31 May 2020. It will be at the Taurus Constellation, then. It will coincide with the annual Beta Taurids meteor shower which occurs 5 June – 18 July. It will be interesting to see, if what was forecasted last year happens this year. Ie. a massive meteor shower in the summer due to Taurid meteor swarm/debris field.

    Comet Atlas Location(Wikipedia)
    During January to March 2020, the comet was located in the constellation of Ursa Major. Throughout the month of April, the comet will be in the constellation of Camelopardalis. On May 12 it will move into Perseus. It will be 0.78 AU (117 million km; 300 LD) from Earth on May 23 during a new moon when the comet will be 17 degrees from the Sun. At its perihelion on May 31, it will be in the Taurus constellation 12 degrees from the Sun.[17]

    Beta Taurids From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    The Beta Taurids (β–Taurids) are an annual meteor shower belonging to a class of “daytime showers” that peak after sunrise. The Beta Taurids are best observed by radar and radio-echo techniques.

    The Beta Taurids are normally active from June 5 to July 18.[1] They emanate from an average radiant of right ascension 5h18m, declination +21.2 and exhibit maximum activity around June 28–29 (Solar Longitude=98.3 deg).[a] The maximum hourly rate typically reaches about 25 as seen on radar.[1] Non-radio observers are faced with a very difficult prospect, because the Beta Taurid radiant is just 10–15 degrees west of the Sun on June 28.[4][b]

    These Beta Taurids are the same meteoroid stream as the Taurids (which form a meteor shower in late October). The Earth intersects this stream of debris twice, once in late October and once in late June, forming two separate meteor showers. However, because the October event occurs at night, it is far more visible and better known than the Beta Taurids, which peak during daylight hours.

  • Comet Atlas: New Photos Show Object Breaking Apart As It Death Dives Towards the Sun

    Comet had prompted excitement as astronomers expected it to be visible to the naked eye – but it has since broken up and is getting dimmer.

    New images have shown the Comet Atlas as it hurtles towards Earth, breaking up as it does. Atlas had prompted excitement in recent weeks as comet-watchers forecast that it will become bright enough to be visible by the naked eye as it comes close to Earth in recent weeks. But soon after that it became clear the object was breaking into pieces, and getting less bright. A host of images have captured the object as it breaks up, including pictures taken from a crowdsourced project using telescopes made by company Unistellar. Another image taken by astronomers in Bulgaria clearly shows what appears to be the multiple different parts of the fragmented object.

Cast out of the tail of Draco the Dragon comes Comet Atlas. Is this the coming fulfillment of Revelation 12? Stars cast out of heaven onto earth. The coming of fallen angels.

Revelation 12:4 New King James Version (NKJV) 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
