На каком расстоянии от Земли пролетела Большая сентябрьская комета 1882 года?
The comet was rapidly approaching perihelion when it was first seen.
At perihelion, the comet is estimated to have been only 300,000 miles or from the Sun's surface.
Subsequent orbital studies have determined that it was a Sungrazing comet, one which passes extremely close to the surface of the Sun.
For many hours on either side of its perihelion passage, the comet was easily visible in the daytime sky next to the Sun.
It reached an estimated magnitude of −17.
