CABO CAÑAVERAL, Florida, EE.UU.
— Un cometa descubierto recientemente está surcando nuestro vecindario cósmico por primera vez en más de 400 años.
El cometa, que tiene el tamaño de un kilómetro pasará el 12 de septiembre a 125 millones de kilómetros de la Tierra.Los madrugadores deben mirar hacia el horizonte en dirección noreste alrededor de una hora y media antes del amanecer: más precisamente, poco menos de 10 grados sobre el horizonte cerca de la constelación de Leo.
El astrónomo italiano Gianluca Masi, fundador del Proyecto Telescopio Virtual, dijo en un email que durante la semana próxima se producirá “la última oportunidad factible” para ver el cometa desde el hemisferio norte antes de que se pierda en el resplandor del Sol. Si sobrevive al roce con el sol, el cometa debería ser visible desde el hemisferio sur a fines de setiembre, dijo Masi, bajo sobre el horizonte en el crepúsculo del atardecer.
