He wrote: “I caught a glimpse of comet C/2018 Y1 (Iwamoto) on the evening of February 12, not long after its closest pass by Earth at some 45 million km away. It was a bit chilly out (-32°C), and my camera was struggling with the cold.” Thank you, Joel.

Photo taken February 10. On Tuesday night, when the comet is closest to Earth at 28 million miles away, its movement will be even more noticeable.

Green comet C/2018 Y1 (Iwamoto) is seen here as it was passing close to the Sombrero galaxy (Messier 104) on February 3, 2019. The galaxy is at the bottom of this image by Rolando Ligustri. Thank you, Rolando.
