Now that we have everyone excited about the Mars occultation tomorrow, he is another exciting visitor from space putting on a show as we speak.
Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) is closing in on the Sun for perihelion on Jan 13, 10:17 UTC.
Currently at mag -3.0, it will brighten to mag -3.6.
But it is difficult to observe from the Northern hemisphere. It will be so even after perihelion, assuming it survives this grazing trip around the Sun.
