Final Viewing Opportunity for Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS This Weekend

Comet C/2023 A3, a visitor from the Oort Cloud, is visible with binoculars as it begins to fade from view.

The comet is best viewed from dark locations, as it becomes less visible due to the bright moon and its increasing distance from the sun.
Observers in the Northern Hemisphere can spot the comet near the western horizon shortly after sunset.
Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS has been visible to the naked eye but now requires binoculars for viewing.
The comet is part of a class of long-period comets originating from the Oort Cloud, a theoretical shell of icy bodies surrounding the solar system.
After October 20, the comet will continue to dim as it travels back toward the outer solar system, remaining visible through binoculars until early November.
