Current Comets Update April 16 - theskyhound - 2020-04-16
Hello everyone,
There is a lot going on with comets this month, requiring a mid-month current comets list update.
Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) has fragmented, which means it has become fainter and is not likely to become the bright comet that we had hoped for.
I have added 2020 F8 (SWAN) to the list.
The MPC is having trouble keeping their comet database up to date, so I have updated orbits via orbital elements as needed via JPL data.
