Skywatchers have a rare chance to witness a once-in-a-lifetime comet as it passes by Earth this week before disappearing into the vast cosmos. The Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, first detected by astronomers in China on January 9, 2023, and later observed in South Africa using the ATLAS telescope, will be visible to the naked eye, a rare occurrence for comets. These celestial objects, composed of dust and ice, are remnants from the formation of the solar system billions of years ago. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS originates from the Oort Cloud and may complete an orbit around the sun every 80,000 years. However, there is a possibility that it may never return if gravitational influences propel it out of the solar system.

The closest approach of Tsuchinchan-ATLAS to Earth is expected on October 12, at a distance of 44 million miles. The comet will be at its brightest on the evening of October 9, due to forward scattering of light from the sun, making it visible even during daylight. Observers can watch for the comet's brilliant display during this time."Nichols mentioned that the comet Neowise is a rare sight worth observing, as such occurrences are not frequent. The comet will be visible to the naked eye starting from October 9 until the end of the month. To observe a spectacular view of the comet, experts recommend going to the darkest location and looking towards the western horizon. If you wish to view the comet after sunset, it can be seen low in the sky near the setting sun. Although it may appear faint, a telescope or binoculars can enhance the viewing experience. While the comet may gradually lose some of its brightness after October 9, it will still be visible. Take advantage of this opportunity to witness the comet's beauty, as it may not reappear in your lifetime.
