Rare Comet Graces Australian Skies After 80,000 Years

Monash University

It's been several years since a comet has been visible from Australian soil, so the visit by comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) is an unmissable event. The comet is expected to be visible in the early evening for the next few nights as it moves away from the Sun. It has been exciting viewers across the northern hemisphere throughout the week and is expected to deliver a similar experience for Australians.
