彗星MAPS在太阳附近经过,可能正在解体. Comet MAPS passes near sun, possibly disintegrating.

彗星MAPS在2026年1月被发现, 4月4日距离太阳最近一点. Comet MAPS, discovered in January 2026, made its closest solar approach on April 4, passing just 100,000 miles from the sun. 虽然冠心图像显示它在周日前完好无损, 但后来的分析表明可能已经解体. While coronagraph images showed it intact before perihelion, later analysis suggests it may have disintegrated. 如果它幸存下来, 彗星可能会在黄昏时出现一个明亮的尾巴, 但要发现它需要双筒望远镜和无阻碍的西方视野. If it survived, the comet would likely produce a bright tail visible in the evening twilight, though spotting it will require binoculars and an unobstructed western view.
