G3 (ATLAS) should be visible from the southern hemisphere, and possibly also the northern hemisphere, over the next few days

A CLARE girl has “accidentally” observed a comet, catching the once-in-a-lifetime moment on camera. Lola Ola and her daughter Ebele got quite the surprise this morning when they

Venus and Saturn will be in conjunction this weekend, appearing side by side in the night sky during January's post-sunset "planet parade."

A MASSIVE comet that is set to “shine brighter than Venus” could be visible over Ireland tonight. The comet, called C 2024 G3 Atlas, was spotted by astronomers at NASA last April. At

In the photo from the space station, the comet is captured just above Earth’s horizon, which is illuminated by a bright light — also known as airglow — that occurs in the planet’s upper atmosphere when atoms and molecules emit light after being excited by sunlight.

G3 is set to dazzle Southern Hemisphere skywatchers in mid-January. Here’s everything you need to know about the 'New Year comet'.

A celestial event 160,000 years in the making will grace the night sky this week, as Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) makes its rare appearance. Expected to be the brightest comet in nearly 20 years, it could shine as brightly as the planet Venus,

G3 (ATLAS) is now visible in the post-sunset night sky. It's best seen in the Southern Hemisphere, but it's visible north of the equator if you know where to look.

A newly-discovered comet might light up the night sky in the coming weeks, possibly shining even brighter than the planet Venus. The comet, named Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3), is making a beeline for the sun,

Comet ATLAS hit a maximum magnitude of -3.4 during its close encounter with the sun, just shy of the brightness of Venus in the night sky.

Comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024) is about to reach its closest point to the Sun in mid-January, making it the brightest comet of the year that won't be visible again for another 160,000 years. Here's when and how to spot it from Earth.

Six planets grace the sky this month in what's known as a planetary parade, and most can be seen with the naked eye
