C/2018 N2 (ASASSN)

C/2018 N2 (ASASSN) is a comet discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN). This comet is a long-period comet, meaning its orbital period is significantly longer than 200 years. The "C/" designation indicates that it is a non-periodic comet or a long-period comet whose period is not well-established. "2018 N2" indicates that it was discovered in the second half of July 2018 (designated by "N") and was the second comet discovered during that period. The "ASASSN" suffix indicates the discovering survey. Observations and orbital calculations are crucial for determining its trajectory, potential future visibility, and understanding its origin. Its brightness and visibility from Earth varied depending on its distance from both the Sun and Earth. Comets like C/2018 N2 provide valuable insights into the early solar system, as they are composed of materials that have remained relatively unchanged since its formation.
