After our detection of an antitail feature, we did some follow-up observations of (6478) Gault, taking a deep image. The aspect evolved further, reflecting the changing, relative geometry, after the Earth crossed Gault’s orbital...
After a couple of weeks from our previous visit, we imaged (6478) Gault again, under good sky conditions. We have found a quite different shape: we see now only one tail, with a possible...
With the very clear sky we had last night, it was time to image asteroid (6478) Gault and its two tails again, to check their “health”. We have found them in good shape. The image...
Exploiting a very clear sky, we made a deep image of asteroid (6478) Gault, now showing a narrow, dusty tail. We could observe its newer tail, too, as in the image below. The image above...
More than two months after the its original announcement, we observed again the dusty tail of (6478) Gault. We have found this intriguing feature in good shape. The images above come from the average of...
We observed (6478) Gault again, the asteroid now showing a narrow, dusty tail. We see that not only the tail is still there, but we confirm a second, short structure recently reported, pointing to...
On 9 Jan. 2019, the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams issued an electronic telegram reporting that the inner main belt asteroid (6478) Gault had a tail. This made the object a very important target to...
