C/2017 T2 (PanSTARRS) is an Oort cloud comet discovered on 2 October 2017 when it was 9.2 AU (1.38 billion km) from the Sun. The closest approach to Earth was on 28 December 2019 at a distance of 1.52 AU (227 million km). It came to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on 4 May 2020 when it was safe from disintegration at 1.6 AU from the Sun. (Mars is also roughly 1.6 AU from the Sun.) Comet C/2017 T2 (PanSTARRS) brightened to apparent magnitude 8 and was visible with 50mm binoculars. In early June 2020 the comet was near the magnitude 1.8 star Dubhe in Ursa Major. * *

  • C/2017 T2 (PanSTARRS) is an Oort cloud comet discovered on 2 October 2017 when it was 9.2 AU (1.38 billion km) from the Sun. The closest approach to Earth was on 28 December 2019 at a distance of 1.52 AU (227 million km). It came to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on 4 May 2020 when it was safe from disintegration at 1.6 AU from the Sun. (Mars is also roughly 1.6 AU from the Sun.) Comet C/2017 T2 (PanSTARRS) brightened to apparent magnitude 8 and was visible with 50mm binoculars. In early June 2020 the comet was near the magnitude 1.8 star Dubhe in Ursa Major. JPL Horizons using an epoch 1950 orbit solution models that C/2017 T2 took millions of years to come from the Oort cloud at a distance of roughly 74,000 AU (1.2 ly). * C/2017 T2 (right) passing near Messier 81 and Messier 82 on May 22, 2020 * C/2017 T2 (centre) passing near the Double Cluster on January 23, 2020 (en)
  • C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS) es un cometa de periodo largo observado por primera vez el 2 de octubre de 2017​​ por el programa de búsqueda sistemática Pan-STARRS operado desde el Observatorio de Haleakala en Hawaii, Estados Unidos. Pasó por el perihelio el 4 de mayo de 2020 a una distancia del Sol de 1,6 unidades astronómicas, aproximadamente la distancia a la que orbita Marte, lo que alejó el riesgo de desintegración del mismo. Por sus parámetros orbitales, se clasifica este cometa como dinámicamente nuevo, es decir, desde su origen postulado en la nube de Oort, es la primera vez que pasa por el Sistema Solar interior.​​ El comenta comenzó a mostrar una coma cometaria en marzo de 2019 cuando el cometa se encontraba a 5,1 ua del Sol. Se han detectado nubes de partículas de polvo concéntricas alrededor del núcleo cometario originadas por la sublimación del mismo mientras gira alrededor de su eje que apunta directamente a la Tierra.​ (es)
