Introduction of comet McNaught

Comet McNaught (official number: C/2006 P 1) (McNaught) was discovered by Australian astronomer R.H. McNaught on August 7th, 2006. When it was discovered, its brightness was only 17, and 10 reached more than 8 in late October. After that, the brightness rose rapidly, exceeding 0 on June 6, 2007 and reaching -2 on June 6, 2007. Because the angular distance from the sun is too small, it is very difficult to observe, but the brightness of this comet is very bright and it is still possible to see it in the middle and high latitudes of the northern hemisphere with excellent weather conditions. In the first ten days of June, 5438 +2007 10, its brightness greatly increased before perihelion, becoming the brightest comet in 30 years (only the brightest brightness is counted). It is also the second brightest comet in 70 years, second only to comet Ikeya-Guan, which reached-1965. Compare the southern comet C/ 1947 X 1, the western comet C/ 1976+0975 V 1, the Wu Bai comet 1996 and Haier 1997. Before the end of 1 month, it will be visible to the naked eye in the higher latitudes of the northern and southern hemispheres during the day.
