Conjunction between the Moon and Jupiter Twin Comets may Spark Rare Meteor Shower

When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look east. You’ll see Jupiter and the Moon rising together.
The Moon and Jupiter pass within 1°57′ of each other.

It’s a beautiful conjunction, and a great way to end the day.

On March 21st, green comet 252P/LINEAR will fly by Earth only 5.4 million km away– the fifth closest cometary approach on record. One day later, a suspected fragment of the comet will pass even closer (3 million km). The name of the fragment is “P/2016 BA14.

252P/LINEAR is now on the threshold of naked eye visibility for observers in the southern hemisphere.
The comet is green because its vaporizing nucleus emits diatomic carbon, C2, a gas which glows green in the near-vacuum of space. The verdant color will become even more intense in the nights ahead as 252P/LINEAR approaches Earth.

According to the International Meteor Organization, there is a chance that the comet’s approach could cause a rare meteor shower. Little is known about meteors from these comets, so estimates of the meteor rate are very uncertain.
