New Comet C/2026 A1 Discovered, Approaching the Sun
A new comet, designated C/2026 A1, has been discovered by French scientists at the AMACS1 Observatory in Chile. The comet is currently on its way toward the sun and is expected to reach its closest point, known as perihelion, on April 4. The comet is part of the Kreutz family, known for their close orbits to the sun. It is approximately 1.5 miles wide and will be visible to observers with telescopes starting in mid-March. The comet's proximity to the sun raises the possibility of it exploding, but if it survives, it will become a bright object visible to the naked eye.
