Humanity is about to get a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see Comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024), possibly the brightest comet in 20 years.
Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas gliding over the Netherlands in October. This incoming comet may be even brighter Here’s something that you’ll kick yourself if you miss – a comet that only grazes the Earth every 160,000 years will be visible next week. Comet G3 ATLAS was first spotted in April 400 million miles away when it was 158,000 times dimmer than the faintest star. But by Monday, astronomers expect the comet to be so vibrant it could rival the brightness of Venus in the night sky.
Your best chance is right after sunset from mid-January to the rest of the month, visible low on the horizon in the eastern sky just before sunrise or the western sky just after sunset. Monday, however, will be when it’s at its brightest; you won’t need a telescope or binoculars to see it. The comet will be coming three times closer to our star than Mercury and 10 times closer than the Earth.
