C-2024 E1 Wierzchoś Comet - telescope processed image. Discovered in March 2024, this comet reached perihelion (its closest point to the Sun) on January 20, 2026, glowing with a distinct green coma due to diatomic carbon.

C-2024 E1 Wierzchoś Comet - unprocessed image. After its 2026 flyby, its trajectory shifted from a million-year inbound journey to a 200,000-year outbound orbit as it returns to the distant Oort Cloud.

Good Monday morning. Sharing images from the dwarf Mini and s59 from last night. Let’s start with a longer observation of #C2024E1 #Wierzchoś #Comet. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

C-2024 E1 Wierzchoś Comet - telescope processed image. Discovered on March 3, 2024, by Polish astronomer Kacper Wierzchoś, it is a "dynamically new" comet originating from the distant Oort Cloud.

C-2024 E1 Wierzchoś Comet - unprocessed image. Its inbound trip took 3 million years, but solar system gravity altered its path to a 200,000-year outbound orbit as it heads back to deep space.

Good Saturday morning. Set the s50 and Dwarf Mini out again last night. Let’s start with #C2024E1 #Wierzchoś #Comet seen last night. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

El cometa #C2024E1 (Wierzchos) pujant nit rere nit al cel de la tarda, ara a la constel•lació d'Eridanus. Aquí el teniu avui malgrat la Lluna quasi plena i a uns 60° del cometa. L'he pogut captar a una alçada de 18° sobre l'horitzó i amb V magnitud +9,5

Interstellar-Bound Comet C/2024 E1 (Wierzchos) Shows Classic Behavior, Fueling Debate Over ‘3I Atlas’ Anomalies The Angry Astronaut examines comet C/2024 E1 (Wierzchos), an Oort Cloud object now on a one-way trajectory out of the Solar System, and contrasts its observed properties with those attributed to the disputed ‘3I Atlas.’ The discussion argues that Wierzchos behaves like a conventional comet despite oddities, while ‘3I Atlas’ displays trajectory, chemistry, and tail features the host says are inconsistent with natural comet physics.

Angry Astronaut finds interstellar-bound comet C/2024 E1 Wierzchos behaves like a classic comet, contrasting it with disputed 3I Atlas, whose trajectory, chemistry and tail reportedly challenge natural-comet physics. #C2024E1 #Wierzchos #3IAtlas

A city-size green comet is now visible in the night sky — but C/2024 E1 (Wierzchoś) is just passing through. Blink and you’ll miss it — once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
