Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) update: the comet is now close to the Sun and few observations are reported to COBS. Still, there are some observations that indicate the comet is brightening and is now at magnitude 7.0-7.5. The comet is now only 0.27 AU from the Sun, well inside Mercury's orbit. It is getting quite hot, Mercury being ~430 °C on the sunward side, so the comet is getting baked hard. We will see how it fares through perihelion soon. The comet enters the field of LASCO C3 coronagraph in 2 days (April 2nd) - see below. All bets are off.
