Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas, also known as C/2023 A3, is making its way towards Earth and is expected to be visible to the naked eye – meaning without a telescope or other equipment – on Wednesday, Oct. 9 and Thursday, Oct. 10, according to NASA. The visibility of the comet is dependent on clear weather conditions.

Astronomers are calling Tsuchinshan-Atlas the "comet of the century". With a nucleus between 20 and 40 kilometers in diameter, it survived its close passage to the Sun on September 27. This type of comet, visible to the naked eye, occurs only once or twice a century.
