Remarks: |
Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) was
discovered in images obtained on September 9th 2025 by the Panoramic Survey
Telescope and Rapid Response System (PanSTARRS) in Hawaii. It passed
perihelion on April 19th 2026 at a distance of approximately 0.5 AU from the
Sun. Shortly thereafter, in early May 2026, the comet became visible to the
naked eye with an apparent magnitude of about 3, primarily from the Southern
Hemisphere owing to its southern declination. |

Bemerkungen: |
Der Komet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) wurde auf Bildern vom
9. September 2025 des Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System
(PanSTARRS) in Hawaii entdeckt. Er durchlief sein Perihel am 19. April 2026
in etwa 0.5 AU Abstand von der Sonne. Kurz danach (Anfang Mai 2026) wurde er
mit einer scheinbaren Helligkeit von ca. 3 mag sogar visuell sichtbar, wegen
südlicher Deklination vor allem auf der Südhalbkugel. |
