1月发现的彗星C/2026 A1将于4月4日接近太阳,4月下旬肉眼可能可见。 Comet C/2026 A1, discovered in January, will pass close to the Sun on April 4, possibly becoming visible to the naked eye in late April.

法国天文学家于1月份发现的彗星C/2026 A1(MAPS)预计将于2026年4月4日接近太阳,距离太阳表面大约99 000英里。 Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS), discovered in January by French astronomers, is expected to make a close pass near the Sun on April 4, 2026, coming within about 99,000 miles of its surface. 4月8日至14日日落后,如果它能活过极端的热量和重力,它可能在西部天空中出现,可能比金星更亮,甚至在白天也能看到。 If it survives the extreme heat and gravity, it may become visible in the western sky after sunset between April 8 and 14, possibly brighter than Venus, and could even be seen during the day. 彗星的亮度急剧提高,科学家们预测,如果碎片留下的话,将会出现短暂、强烈的显示。 The comet’s brightness has increased dramatically, and scientists predict a brief, intense display if fragments remain. 美国航天局的SOHO航天器将在4月2日至6日监测其航向, NASA’s SOHO spacecraft will monitor its approach from April 2 to 6, with live images available online. 专家警告,由于眼损伤风险,不得直接用太阳能观光。 Experts warn against direct solar viewing due to eye damage risks. 估计轨道周期为1,675年,这可能是一生中一次的事件。 With an estimated orbital period of 1,675 years, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
