Congrats to Koichi Itagaki who has already discovered these two Supernovae this year. (Sormano Obs. E. Colzani, G. Ventre)

The new comet Gibbs P/2023 Y2, announced today on MPEC A148, has an orbital period of just over 7 years. In this image, obtained this morning by G. Ventre at Sormano2 Observatory (L06), it shows a small tail in PA abt 300

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks on Dec. 18, 2023 from Osservatorio Astronomico Sormano (E. Colzani, D. Pezzella, E. Valli).

🆕"Medieval comets" is intended to be the first volume in a series devoted to an in-depth study of medieval European and middle-east comet records. This first volume deals with the 5th, 6th, and 7th centuries.☄️

I am especially happy to know that the first book (of the planned 4) on medieval comets, covering the period 400-700 AD has finally been published. It can be obtained through the publisher EdUPV (Univ. Politècnica de València).Here the online edition:

@cosmos4u
No unfortunately we do not have such a list. However, your estimate does not seem to me very far from reality even if, on January 18th of last year, 1994 PC1 reached mv ~10.0

@cosmos4u
Yes , computations of 2023 DZ2, made at Sormano Observatory, including obs up to March 21, indicate its approach from the Earth's surface at 168300 Km +/- 140.

@giddgvb Hi. Gideon. Very nice simulation

@skymorph Good work Maik and Gary! ... I only hope there will be next a cheaper paperback edition
