Comet C/2020 F8 (Swan) is a long-period comet discovered in March 2020 using data from the Solar Wind ANisotropies (SWAN) camera aboard the SOHO spacecraft. The comet brightened rapidly as it approached perihelion in late May 2020, raising hopes of it becoming visible to the naked eye. Although it never reached the predicted brilliance due to significant fragmentation of its nucleus, Comet Swan provided a striking display for observers in the Southern Hemisphere, with a distinctive gas tail captured in many amateur and professional images. Its brief but photogenic appearance made it one of the more notable comets of 2020.
