#CometMAPS disintegrated as it passed close to the #sun over the weekend. Skywatchers had high hopes that this #comet would be bright in our skies over the coming days, but it turned to dust as it soared past our star. Might we still see this plume of dust in our sky? ☄️🔭

C/2026 A1 (MAPS) is passing through the sun's corona today, and we're hoping it survives to give us something cool to look for after sunset tomorrow through around Tuesday or Wednesday.

A couple of nice comets I got to shoot were Tsuchinsan-ATLAS in 2024 and NEOWISE in 2020. #CometMAPS

San Andreas Stress at 1,000-Year High: Was the Venezuela Earthquake Just the Beginning?
🚨 Is Earth hitting the 'Reset' button? 🚨 What if I told you that a giant explosion on the Sun could be the trigger for the next big earthquake in California? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the mind-bending analysis by geologist Stefan Burns regarding the recent surge in global geophysical activity. Is this just a coincidence, or are we witnessing a planetary chain reaction? We explore the high-stakes science behind: - ☀️ The massive X-class solar flare and the mysterious sungrazing comet fueling our electromagnetic atmosphere. - 🌊 The terrifying 'seismic wave' currently marching toward the San Andreas Fault. - 🇻🇪 Why the recent Venezuela earthquake might be a dark omen for the West Coast. - 🪐 How planetary geometry and space weather are perfectly aligning for a high-magnitude event. Whether you're a science geek or just someone who wants to know if they should pack their emergency preparedness kit, this discussion is a must-listen. We aren't just talking about 'weather'; we're talking about the pulse of our planet. Is the San Andreas ready to snap? Stay informed, stay safe.

☄️ Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) Update!

Will this sungrazer survive its 162,000km brush with the Sun on April 4? Dr. Ian Musgrave joins me on #Astrophiz to map the survival odds and viewing windows for the Southern Hemisphere. 🔭

Comet MAPS C/2026 A1 is now at perihelion, its closest to the Sun in its orbit.

It is behind the discs that hide the Sun in the SOHO spacecraft's imaging instruments, so it's not visible there. Will it break up?

#CometMAPS
Comet MAPS C/2026 A1 has now entered the field of view of the LASCO C2 instrument of the SOHO spacecraft.

The comet will reach perihelion at 13h 13m UTC today (2:13p.m. BST). It will probably break up, but there is a slight chance it might survive.

If Comet MAPS C/2026 A1 survives its passage very close to the Sun, it may become visible to the naked eye or through binoculars low down in the twilight sky after sunset over the coming few days.

But the extreme heat and tidal effects of the Sun will probably destroy the comet.

Everything in a comet is the same atoms as your blood — a 4.6-billion-year traveler reduced to dust by the Sun that ate it.

We are the comet.

I'll keep watching. Subscribe @sixtysecondcosmos for the next comet's final moments. #sungrazer #cometMAPS

The remnants of Comet MAPS have slowly reemerged. But the chance this is going to be a Comet Lovejoy type headless wonder are very small.
