ATLAS' star is fading, it's still very possible to photograph the year's most magnificent comet before it disappears for millennia. And here's the proof. This stunning photograph (above) courtesy of Mads Claus Rasmussen was captured on October 22 on the Danish island of Lolland.

From the Northern Lights to super moons and the latest SpaceX launches, if you know how, when, and where to look, there has been a lot of activity in the skies over Virginia recently. The comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS which orbits our Sun every 80,

Use this table to see how the visibility of Tsuchinshan-ATLAS will be affected by the comet’s position, as well as the Sun and Moon.

A rare celestial event is lighting up the night sky this month as Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas makes its closest approach to Earth for the first time in roughly 80,000 years.

News&Guide photographers captured Comet C/2023 A3, aka Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, as is streaked across the night sky this week. It has been visible since mid-October. Although it is getting farther away, it

Comet-Tsuchinshan-Atlas will continue to get higher in the sky through the third week of October, however it will also be getting dimmer as it moves further away from the sun. Comets are large icy bodies that move through space that often originate from the Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud beyond the orbit of Pluto.

Dubbed by some as "the comet of the century," Tsuchinshan–ATLAS could possibly be the brightest comet of 2024, according to NASA, and experts say it won't return in our lifetime thanks to its 80,000-year trip around the sun.
