Skywatchers will have a unique opportunity to witness a rare comet passing by Earth this week before disappearing into the vastness of space. Known as Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, this celestial object was first detected nearly two years ago at the Tsuchinshan Observatory in China and later sighted in South Africa. Comets are icy objects with long tails that orbit the Sun and are remnants from the early days of our solar system. Most comets are too faint to be seen without a telescope, but some, like Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, may be visible to the naked eye. This comet originates from the Oort Cloud, located at the outer reaches of our solar system, and it may take around 80,000 years to orbit the Sun. There is a possibility that this comet may never return, as it could be ejected from the solar system due to gravitational interactions with other objects. The closest approach of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS to Earth is expected on October 12, with the brightest visibility on October 9. Observers may be able to see the comet during the day as well through a phenomenon known as forward scattering, where dusty debris reflects sunlight towards Earth, creating a luminous display in the sky."Nichols expressed that the visibility of a comet is a rare event worth witnessing. The comet will be visible to the naked eye from October 9 until the end of the month. To get the best view, experts recommend going to a dark location with a clear view of the western horizon. If you wish to see the comet after sunset, look low on the horizon where it has set. While it may appear faint, using a telescope or binoculars can enhance the viewing experience. Although the comet may diminish in brightness after October 9, it will still be observable. Take advantage of this opportunity to witness the comet's beauty, as it may not be visible again in your lifetime.
