In November 2016, the infrared space telescope NASA WISE discovered two new celestial bodies around our planet. Although comets and asteroids are poorly reflect the light, they heat up from absorbing radiation, and they can be observed in the infrared range.

The first was a comet and received the designation C/U1 2016. According to NASA, in the first half of January, the comet's brightness can reach 7-8 magnitude, which makes it available for observations with binoculars and Amateur telescopes. The comet is non-periodic, its orbit is hyperbolic. Perihelion should advance January 14th to observe the comet will be in the constellation Ophiuchus before dawn.

The second heavenly body, the designation 2016 WF9, it may be as an asteroid and a comet. The difficulty of identification is that experts do not see a gas shell or signs of activity as it should be with the comet. The orbital period of a celestial body is 4.9 year orbit is between Jupiter and the inner part of the orbit of our planet.
