Episode Details

In today's image, we see comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS as seen over California recently. The comet was bright with a prominent tail pointing toward the upper left and an antitail to the lower right. This may be the great comet of 2024, depending on how bright another incoming comet is over the coming weeks.
