Comet ATLAS (C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) continues on target to completely disintegrate before it sweeps around the sun early next Monday .
It has already shown indications that it is gradually breaking apart, which could be the main reason why it is brightening so slowly as it races inward toward the sun.
The comet will be immersed deep within the sun's outer atmosphere or corona, and will be subjected to temperatures of at least one million degrees F. ( 555,537 C).
Comet ATLAS was discovered on Sept. 27 in Hawaii by the Asteroid Terrestrial -impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) Project.
Astronomer: "There's probably not much left of its primary core" There might still be something to see early on Halloween morning or during the opening days of November .
