Know the astronomical phenomena that we can enjoy in 2018

Comet 46P / Wirtanen, discovered in 1948 by the American astronomer Carl Alvar Wirtanen, takes 5.4 years to travel its orbit around the Sun. On December 12 it will make its closest approach to the Sun and four or five days later it will make its closest approach to our planet and it will appear between the Pleiades and the Hyades.  It will approach about 30 lunar distances and could be observed with the naked eye.  http://www.rguama.icrt.cu/conoce-los-fenomenos-astronomicos-que-podremos-disfrutar-en-el-2018/
