C/2001 Q4 (NEAT)

C/2001 Q4 (NEAT) is a comet with an unusual, almost perpendicular retrograde orbit which brings it into the inner solar system by a deeply southward path. [ [http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=C/2001+Q4;orb=1#orb Orbit of comet C/2001 Q4 (NEAT)] ] It initially emerged from its remote home spending most of its time near the south celestial pole. This comet was discovered on August 24, 2001 by the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking program (NEAT).

In 2004, residents of the southern hemisphere had the opportunity to watch the comet gradually brighten as it raced toward perihelion. Beginning in early May, the comet started racing north and burst into view in the northern hemisphere when it had reached almost maximum brightness.
