Komet 41P/Tuttle–Giacobini–Kresák jetzt zirkumpolar:
Sky & Telescope Comet 41P/T-G-K Greens Up For St. Paddy’s Day
By March 14th, the coma had swelled to at least 12' across but appeared less compact and more diffuse. By next week, the comet should brighten by at least half a magnitude and become easy prey in 50-mm and larger binoculars from a dark-sky location. More optimistic predictions call for 41P to reach a peak brightness of magnitude +6 during the first week of April.
