Comet MAPS passes near sun, possibly disintegrating.
Comet MAPS, discovered in January 2026, made its closest solar approach on April 4, passing just 100,000 miles from the sun.
While coronagraph images showed it intact before perihelion, later analysis suggests it may have disintegrated.
If it survived, the comet would likely produce a bright tail visible in the evening twilight, though spotting it will require binoculars and an unobstructed western view.
