The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System also called ATLAS is an early warning system to detect smaller NEO (near Earth objects) a few weeks to days before they impact Earth. This comet will become brighter every day until May 2020. This comet might start disintegrating as some of the astronomers are predicting as it approaches the sun.
Update 4/10/2020
I imaged this Comet again on April 8th, 2020. Interestingly I was not able to select the nucleus of the comet while I was processing. I was able to do that when I processing the picture in this video. The nucleus feels like dust now. It tells me the comet is disintegrating as many of astronomers are noticing. Here is the new video of this comet - [ Ссылка ]
