Overview
- Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, officially known as C/2023 A3, is currently visible in the western sky after sunset.
- The comet is moving away from the Sun, causing it to fade, but it remains high enough in the sky for easy visibility.
- Observers should look toward the constellation Serpens about 45 minutes after sunset to spot the comet.
- The best viewing conditions are expected during the weekend, with the comet positioned above Venus and Arcturus.
- Although the comet's brightness is diminishing, it still presents a unique opportunity to witness a celestial event that won't recur for thousands of years.
