Comet C/2014 Q1 And The Moon
Taken by Yuri Beletsky on July 17, 2015 @ Chile
Tonight we were absolutely lucky here in Chile to witness simply breathtaking view - Comet C/2014 Q1 and the crescent Moon, aligned next to each other. Unfortunately the objects were setting pretty quickly, nevertheless the view was truly unforgettable.

Distance of Comet C/2014 Q1 (PANSTARRS) from Earth
The following chart shows the distance of Comet C/2014 Q1 (PANSTARRS) from Earth as a function of time. Distance data is sampled with a 2 days interval, so please keep in mind that there might be inaccuracies around the time of closest approach for objects passing extremely close to Earth.
Light Curve of Comet C/2014 Q1 (PANSTARRS)
The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Comet C/2014 Q1 (PANSTARRS), according to the most recent ephemerides data.
The magnitude data is sampled with a 2 days interval, so there might be inaccuracies for objects changing brightness very rapidly during the course of a few days. Also, for comets there could be large discrepancies between the observed and predicted brightness because of the their highly dynamic and unpredictable behaviour.
