C/2024 X1 (Fazekas) is a Jupiter-family comet. It was discovered by Mt. Lemmon Survey scientist, J. B. Fazekas.[2]

Discovery

[edit]

The comet was spotted in the 11 December images taken by 111.5 mpx (10,560 x 10,560 px) CCD mounted at prime focus of 1.5 metres (59 in) f/1.6 Cassegrain reflector (observatory code G96). The object appeared as a 20th magnitude 10-12" blob without tail in the constellation Auriga.[3][4]

Orbital characteristics

[edit]

Current calculations suggest it's orbital period is about 29.5 years, classyfying it as a Halley-type member.[5] It will reach next perihelion on 31 July 2025, when it will be 3.057 AU (457.3 million km; 284.2 million mi) from the Earth.[5]
