Overview

• Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, dubbed the 'comet of the century,' is currently visible in the western sky after sunset.
• Astronomers recommend using binoculars or a small telescope to view the comet as it fades in brightness.
• The comet was visible to the naked eye earlier this month but is now becoming more challenging to spot due to its diminishing brightness.
• Optimal viewing conditions include dark skies away from city lights, with the comet positioned near the constellation Virgo.
• This celestial event marks the last opportunity in our lifetime to see this comet, as its orbit takes 80,000 years to complete.
