News summary

The rare Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, not seen for 80,000 years, is currently visible in the night skies across various parts of the world, including India, Alaska, and the United States. Discovered in January 2023 by observatories in China and South Africa, the comet reached its closest point to the sun on September 28, 2024. It is now visible with the naked eye, appearing as a faint glow in the western sky after sunset, with its brightness comparable to that of Venus at its peak. The comet features a tail stretching 18 million miles long and will continue to be visible until late October. Stargazers are encouraged to use binoculars or telescopes for a better view, especially from higher elevations and clear, dark skies. This celestial event offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as the comet embarks on its extensive journey back through the solar system.
