RE: Comet ATLAS (and the Town of Comet)

in Astronomy • 5 years ago

Hi @terrylovejoy.

I enjoyed this post. Especially the back story behind Leichhard, Comet Creek and how his fine comet might be a sibling to the one you've captured imagery of. Do you have any info on the progenitor comet that may have existed? Wouldn't viewing that comet break up be spectacular to see.

Thanks for supplying the links. I'm going to read up on some of Leichhard's memoirs as I settle in for the night.

Best,

Dave

    Leichhard's memoirs make great reading actually, I got suckered into reading a couple of chapters myself :) Regarding the comet's progenitor it is looking like it returned too far in the past to make any identification.
