Skywatchers have a rare opportunity to witness a once-in-a-lifetime comet this week as it passes by Earth before disappearing into the vastness of space. The Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was first detected around two years ago by astronomers in China and later in South Africa. Comets are celestial objects made of dust and ice that orbit the Sun, leaving behind long tails. Most comets require a telescope to see, but a few are bright enough to be visible to the naked eye. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, originating from the Oort Cloud on the outer edge of the solar system, may orbit the Sun every 80,000 years and could potentially leave the solar system altogether due to gravitational effects from other objects. The comet is expected to make its closest approach to Earth on October 12, shining brightly on the evening of October 9 due to forward scattering of light. This unique phenomenon may even make the comet visible during the day. If you're interested in observing the comet, mark your calendar for those dates!"Nichols remarked that visibility is a rare opportunity worth seizing, as comets do not appear frequently. The comet will be visible to the naked eye starting from October 9 until the end of the month. It is recommended by experts to find the darkest location possible in order to witness a spectacular view on the western horizon. If you aim to spot the comet after sunset, look for it low in the sky where it has already set. While it may appear faint, using a telescope or binoculars can enhance your viewing experience. Beyond October 9, the comet's brightness may diminish, but it will still be observable. Take advantage of this exquisite sight as it may not present itself again in your lifetime.
