Don’t Miss Your Opportunity to See A3 This Sunday!

As comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS embarks on its lengthy 80,000-year journey back to the Oort Cloud, astronomers are reminding stargazers of the last opportunity to catch a glimpse of this long-period comet. Now fading in brightness but rising in the night sky, it remains visible from the Northern Hemisphere through October 20, particularly for those who can escape light pollution. The comet, designated C/2023 A3, can be spotted approximately 45 minutes after sunset, positioned high above the western horizon in the constellation Ophiuchus. Stargazers are advised to use binoculars for the best view and to navigate to dark-sky locations for optimal visibility before the comet becomes invisible to the naked eye later this month.
