Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT

Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT is currently in the constellation of Leo.

The current Right Ascension of Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT is 09h 58m 57s and the Declination is +16° 47’ 26” (topocentric coordinates computed for the selected location: Greenwich, United Kingdom edit_location_alt). The current estimated magnitude of Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT is 28.15 (JPL).

The observed values of Magnitude, Coma Diameter and Tail Length are derived from the most recent observation recorded at the Comet Observers Database. The value of Predicted Magnitude comes from the JPL Horizons ephemerides service and, in the case of comets, might be inaccurate given the highly dynamic and unpredictable behavior of these objects. When available, please refer to the Observed Magnitude value and consider the Predicted Magnitude as a directional indication. We acknowledge with thanks the comet observations from the COBS Comet Observation Database contributed by observers worldwide and used in this table to report recent comet observations.

Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT Distance from Earth

The distance of Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT from Earth is currently 645,779,744 kilometers, equivalent to 4.316771 Astronomical Units. Light takes 35 minutes and 54.0894 seconds to travel from Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT and arrive to us.

The following chart shows the distance of Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT from Earth as a function of time. In the chart the distance data is measured in Astronomical Units and sampled with an interval of 1 day.

The value of the reported distance might be somewhat inaccurate around the times of closest approach for objects passing extremely close to Earth. The value of the distance of 193P/LINEAR-NEAT from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.

Closest Approach of Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT to Earth

Between 1 January 2013 and 30 December 2100, the closest approach of Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT to Earth happens on Tue Sep 15 2048 at a distance of 1.141659 Astronomical Units, or 170,789,809 kilometers:

NOTE: values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.

Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT Brightness and Light Curve

The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Comet 193P/LINEAR-NEAT, according to the most recent ephemerides data. Magnitude data is sampled with a 2 days interval and there might be inaccuracies for objects changing brightness very rapidly during the course of a few days. For comets there could be large discrepancies between the observed and predicted brightness because of their highly dynamic behaviour.
