A recently discovered comet, known as C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan–ATLAS, will make its closest approach of Earth on Saturday. Sky-gazers won’t want to miss the event since it may be the last time the comet will be seen in the night sky for another 80,000 years.

It should be visible through the end of October, clear skies permitting. Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas should be bright enough to see with the naked eye, but binoculars and telescopes will give a better view.

Scientists predict that Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS will appear at its brightest tonight and reach its closest point to Earth this weekend. Our galaxy is packed with wonders and mysteries—and no, this isn’t a pitch for the next Star Wars series.
