A warm welcome to all friends of comets and minor planets!
We are living on a beautyful planet, surrounded in space from its large and small
brothers and sisters since unimaginable times.
This web is an independant and ad-free approach to the grand show in our neighborhood in space
with small amateur equipment.
Actual events:
Checking the possible cometary nature of NEO asteroid 2019 VL4. Images of December, 4 2019
Confirmation of a new comet published on the PCCP on July,22 2018, video of July, 25 2018

TEST YOUR EYES!
The comet is moving from left to right between the arrows. One loop with arrows, 3 loops without arrows, endless. One loop = 1.25 seconds.
