Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) and it apparent magnitude forecast

edit

The latest version of the wiki page (after editing by @SpaceNerd13) has errors related to brightness prediction.

  1. Forward Scattering with maximum phase angle 116° will not have much effect on peak mag. (<0.8m) 2. With extrapolation of current magnitude rate to perihelion (H0=5; 2.5n=17) we get the peak apparent magnitude -13m. Closer to perihelion there may not be any deceleration to n=~3.5. Also, i don't understand reason for remove my phrase " But this comet at the moment have 2.5n=17!" Proof of new/old status based on brightness dynamics without that phrase makes no sense. I'm writing here to avoid a "war of edits".

I wouldn't consider the automatic solution of COBS to be worth of including in the article. It is known to have failed spectacularly before. COBS is only worth for its news pieces and observation logs. There seems to be some WP:OR in the article. C messier (talk) 18:26, 15 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
I obtained most of the information through my own calculations. Now I understand that this is not approved here. Sorry. Txzba (talk) 18:34, 15 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
I see..... well your phrase " but the comet at the moment have 2.5n=17!" kinda sounds like its for a news report or an essay. You can put those........ numbers and calculations back but just a tip dont make it sound like an essay or something. Im sorry for removing you parts.
