C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) - Comet

Introduction | Map | My Own Photos | My Own Observations | References

On this page I collect my observations of the comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS), sometimes just called ATLAS.

Introduction

The comet C/2019 Y5 (ATLAS) was discovered on 28.12.2019 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System on Hawaii, ATLAS for short. It promised to become a conspicuous object in the night sky in 2020, but it broke up in April 2020 and could no longer be observed with the naked eye.
