A comet is a celestial object made of ice, dust, and rock that orbits the Sun. When it nears the Sun, it forms a glowing coma and often a tail due to the sublimation of its ice.
C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) is a newly discovered long-period comet, found in January 2023. It is expected to make its closest approach to the Sun on October 12, 2024, and to Earth around October 13-14, 2024. If it remains intact, it could become bright enough to be visible to the naked eye, especially in the Northern Hemisphere.
