Daring sungrazer: Watch comets brighter than the brightest object in the sky - when and where to watch in India?
A newly discovered comet, C/2026 A1 or MAPS, is predicted to become exceptionally bright, potentially outshining Venus. This Kreutz sungrazer, spotted by amateur astronomers, will reach its closest point to the Sun in April 2026. If it survives the intense solar heat, it may be visible to the naked eye, even during daylight, with a distinctive turquoise tail.
