Comet 90001271 302P/Lemmon-PANSTARRS Observation Details
302P/Lemmon-PANSTARRS Daily Motion
302P/Lemmon-PANSTARRS will rise at 16:06, reaching 50° when twilight begins at 20:19. It will reach transit at 59° by 22:05 and will set before twilight ends at 04:04.90001271 302P/Lemmon-PANSTARRS will be visible until December, 22, when it will move too close to the Sun. During this time, its proximity to the Sun will cause it to disappear from the night sky, making it unobservable for a while.

The graph illustrates the annual visibility pattern of a 302P/Lemmon-PANSTARRS, providing a comprehensive overview of its daily appearances and transit times throughout the year.
The graph is structured with the vertical axis showing the hours of the day, ranging from 12 AM to 12 AM the next day, while the horizontal axis spans each day of the year.
The reddish shaded area indicates the periods when the 302P/Lemmon-PANSTARRS is above the horizon, visible to observers. The white line marks the times when the celestial object reaches its highest point in the sky each day, known as the transit.
