El cometa Encke o cometa de Encke (designación oficial: 2P/Encke) es un cometa periódico que completa una órbita alrededor del Sol cada 3,3 años. Es conocido por tener el período más corto de un cometa razonablemente brillante (el cometa del cinturón principal 311P/PANSTARRS, más débil, tiene un período de 3,2 años).
2 de oct. de 2023 · En octubre de 2023, el cometa 2P/Encke hará su acercamiento más cercano al Sol y alcanzará su máxima luminosidad. En este artículo, te contaremos todo lo que necesitas saber sobre este cometa.
Comet Encke / ˈ ɛ ŋ k i /, or Encke's Comet (official designation: 2P/Encke), is a periodic comet that completes an orbit of the Sun once every 3.3 years. (This is the shortest period of a reasonably bright comet; the faint main-belt comet 311P/PanSTARRS has a period of 3.2 years.)
Comet 2P/Encke is a small comet. Its nucleus measures approximately 2.98 miles (4.8 kilometers) in diameter, which is about a third of the size of the object hypothesized to have led to the demise of the dinosaurs. It takes 3.30 years for Enke to orbit the sun once.
Hace 4 días · Comet 2P/Encke is a periodic comet that takes about 3.3 years to complete one orbit around the Sun. It was first discovered by Pierre Méchain on January 17, 1786, and was later independently rediscovered by Johann Franz Encke on November 2, 1818. The comet is named after Encke, who calculated its orbit and predicted its return in 1822.
2 de oct. de 2023 · Here is the path of Comet Encke for October 2023: October 2: Comet Encke (mag 8.7, elongation 36.9°) passes 3°20' away from the star Algieba (mag 2.2) and 7°18' away from the star Regulus (mag 1.3) in the constellation Leo.
25 de nov. de 2013 · NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft imaged comet 2P/Encke during its closest approach of the planet Mercury at 22:56 UTC on November 17. At that time, Encke was approximately 2.3 million miles (3.7 million kilometers) from MESSENGER and 32.7 million miles (52.6 million kilometers) from our sun.
