Comet C/2013 US10 (Catalina) has Developed a Tail some 500,000 miles (800,000 km) long – NOW Visible in Northern Skies (+Video)
Comet C/2013 US10 Shows off a Compact Green Coma and two Tails / NOW Visible in Northern Skies
Recent observations show the comet has developed a tail some 500,000 miles (800,000 km) long! Thus – in November, 2015 – binoculars are likely to show a short tail of this comet, while small telescopes will provide a nice view
By the end of this month, Comet Catalina might be visible to the eye at a visual magnitude of 5 or 6, which means it would be within the limit for viewing with the unaided eye from dark sky sites. It’ll be in the predawn sky, near the planets and moon in early December. Comets have been shown to be unpredictable, so it may become brighter or fainter.
