Comets. This section provides a comprehensive list of the bright comets currently visible in the sky. This list is updated with new information several times per day. Comets for which there is data from recent observations reported in the Comet Observation database (COBS) are listed first, in order of decreasing brightness. When data from ...
Sep 23, 2024 · Right now the comet is at a brightness of roughly -2 on the brightness magnitude scale, which makes it quite visible. To find the comet, look to the west after sunset on Oct. 12, when it will be ...
Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan–ATLAS is the comet on everyone's lips at the moment, as many are hoping it will become a bright object in the sky around September / October 2024. The comet is already visible in the sky if you know where to look, although it requires at least a small telescope to catch it.
Oct 21, 2024 · What time will Comet A3 be visible in the UK? According to Dr Greg Brown, an astronomer at Royal Observatory Greenwich, the comet will be ‘visible in the early evening skies’. He advises that ...

The current Right Ascension is 16h 17m 43s and the Declination is +02° 05’ 13” (apparent coordinates). The latest observed magnitude of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is 4.0 (data provided by COBS). Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuc...
The observed values of Magnitude, Coma Diameter and Tail Length are derived from the most recent observation recorded at the Comet Observers Database. The value of Predicted Magnitude comes from the JPL Horizonsephemerides service and, in the case of comets, might be inaccurate given the highly dynamic and unpredictable behavior of these objects. W...
