Skywatchers throughout the Northern Hemisphere are enjoying views of the newly discovered Comet SWAN.
This latest cosmic interloper was first sighted on March 29 by Vladimir Bezugly of Dnipro, Ukraine, who found an apparent moving object (a promising candidate for a possible comet) in daily images obtained from March 22 to March 28 with the Solar Wind Anisotropies (SWAN) camera on the Solar and Heliospheric Observer (SOHO), a spacecraft run jointly by the European Space Agency and NASA.
