Comet ATLAS was discovered on Sept. 27 in Hawaii by the Asteroid Terrestrial -impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) project.
The newfound object is a Kreutz sungrazer, a family of comets that have been among the most brilliant ever observed.
At its maximum length, Ikeya-Seki's tail extended for 70 million miles , ranking it as the fourth -largest ever recorded.
Comet ATLAS has been slow to brighten as it approaches the sun.
The last Kreutz Sungrazer to become bright was Comet Lovejoy in 2011 .
Some observers have suggested that it has dimmed slightly in recent days , and that its nucleus has even split into two pieces.
