P/2019 U4 (PANSTARRS) Daily Motion
Tonight, observing P/2019 U4 (PANSTARRS) may prove challenging owing to its low elevation. It will reach its transit at by 09:33 and set before sunset at 15:32. Rising near twilight's end at 03:30, it will fade away by 05:50, peaking at just 27° above the horizon.90004565 P/2019 U4 (PANSTARRS) will be visible until April, 5, 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.
