Look to the night sky on Saturday for the best chance to see a comet that won't be back for another 80,000 years, according to NASA.The big picture: The comet, known as C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, is expected to be closest to Earth on Oct.

To get the best view of the comet, go outside about an hour after sunset and look west. The comet should be visible from the northern and southern hemispheres. While you can see the comet with the naked eye, binoculars and telescopes will give you a better view of it.

Skygazers could get a few opportunities to see a rare comet this month as it soars over the stratosphere for the first time in 80,000 years. Driving the news: Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, also known as C/2023 A3,

ATLAS, recently discovered by astronomers from China and South Africa, will make its closest approach to Earth. This celestial traveler, originating from the distant Oort Cloud, will be best visible from the Southern Hemisphere,

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS has been visible for a few days now, but really early in the morning. If you wake up early you have one more morning to see the comet and its tail. You have to find a somewhat special spot to see the comet Tuesday morning. You’ll have to be in that spot around 5:55 a.m.

Photographers around the world are capturing stunning views of C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), the best comet this year.

There's been talk of another spectacular comet putting on a show in our sky after Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. Unfortunately, however, it doesn't look like the newcomer will deliver.

A comet like the fictional Jesper is what’s known as a Jupiter family comet, so named because they have orbits which extend roughly to the orbit of Jupiter. Most comets, however, are more distant. Many have roughly circular orbits which keep them in the outer reaches of the solar system,
