A comet is approaching Earth, which is expected to become The brightest comets It was discovered by the American astronomer, George Leonard, at the Mount Lamon Laboratory on January 3, 2021, when it reached a distance of 750 million kilometers from the sun. The comet was named after its discoverer, Leonard. The calculations showed that the comet “Leonard” is traveling in a trajectory, which means that it will cross the solar system only once and will not return to us again. The comet passed the farthest point of its orbit at a distance of 3,500 astronomical units (the distance between the Sun and Earth) 35,000 years ago.

The comet is now approaching the sun to pass on January 3, 2022, with a minimum distance of 0.62 astronomical units (perihelion). On December 12-13, the comet will approach the earth To the lowest distance of 35005384 km, the brightness of its gaseous and ionic tails will increase by 3-15 times, which will enable astronomers and the inhabitants of the Earth to observe it with the naked eye.
