Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) came within 8.3 million miles of the sun on January 13 as it reached its perihelion, and is now disintegrating.
according to NASA. C/2024 G3 was thought to originate in the Oort cloud, an enormous cloud of rock and ice surrounding our solar system, with the comet taking about 160,000 years to orbit the sun.
Throughout the plan Curiosity will acquire observations to monitor the environment, including a Navcam dust devil movie, Mastcam twilight observation to search for iridescent ice clouds ...
