Residents of the Northern hemisphere of the Earth in April will be witnesses of a rare phenomenon – they will meet with a very bright a comet possessing a long “tail” of bright green color, which will be visible even without special equipment, unarmed the eye. The comet is called Lemmon. Portal astronet.ru, which is dedicated to astronomy and astronautics reports that the STEREO AHEAD HI 2 satellite camera is now recorded the passage of a massive object that was identified as comet C / 2012 F6 Lemmon – second of three comets to be observed this year. Comet already well observed with binoculars in the southern hemisphere. On record presented its path from April 16 to 19, when the solar flare interfered with the camera. A heavenly body whose tail has unusual bright green color due to the presence of gaseous substances – cyan (poisonous gas) and diatomic carbon released during warming up the comet, astronomers discovered last March on the mountain Lemmon in the United States. Scientists say this is the first the appearance of Comet Lemmon in the Solar System for a long time.
