Join Planetarium Astronomer Scott Young, as he navigates the various predictions for what could be “the comet of the century”… or just a faint blob. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS passes between the Sun and the Earth in early October and could become visible to the unaided eye in the evening sky by mid-month, if predictions are correct. Unfortunately, comets are notoriously difficult to predict where their brightness is concerned.
In this month’s Dome@Home, we’ll look at this first-time visitor to the inner solar system, and see when and where Manitobans will get their best views. Plus, we’ll check out some autumn constellations and other cool space stuff!
