Astronomers around the world, disappointed by the comet Atlas which has finally fragmented, hopes to catch up with Swan who should be visible to the naked eye in the northern hemisphere.
Sky observers call it C / 2020 F8, but it is best known by Swan, named after the instrument of the Solar and Hemispheric Observatory (SoHO), which discovered it last March.
Visible in the southern hemisphere since early May, we should be able to see it from May 15 in our latitudes, according to Ciel & Espace. First visible to the northeast at 6 ° from the horizon, it will reach 10 ° on May 19 in the Constellation of Perseus and then be observable in the morning and evening as of May 25.
Remaining relatively close to the horizon, it will however be advisable to stand on high ground to be able to observe it.
