New 'sungrazing' comet could become visible to the naked eye during the day — if the sun doesn't destroy it
SMRTR summary
French astronomers discovered a massive "sungrazing" comet called C/2026 A1 that will pass dangerously close to the sun on April 4, coming within 500,000 miles while traveling over 2 million mph. If it survives the intense heat and radiation that destroys most sungrazers, the comet could become several times brighter than the full moon and visible even during daylight.
