Comet 90001321 341P/Gibbs Observation Details
341P/Gibbs Daily Motion
341P/Gibbs will be visible throughout the entire night. It will rise at 14:33, just before twilight begins, and will be at 24° when twilight starts at 16:35. It will reach its transit at 65° at 21:12, and will fade away as twilight ends at 03:07, being at 8° elevation.90001321 341P/Gibbs will be visible until January, 20, 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.
