Look to the night sky on Saturday for the best chance to see a comet that won't be back for another 80,000 years, according to NASA.The big picture: The comet, known as C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, is expected to be closest to Earth on Oct.

A comet discovered in 2023 will pass by Earth this weekend and become increasingly visible in Central Illinois over the next few days. The comet, now called C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, (A3 for short) survived it’s close transit of the sun and will become easier to spot in the western sky by early

Recently, the comet has been obscured by the glare of the Sun, but it will soon become visible in the Northern Hemisphere, just above the horizon after sunset. Look to the west, about 10 degrees above the horizon, between the constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpio.

There's been talk of another spectacular comet putting on a show in our sky after Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. Unfortunately, however, it doesn't look like the newcomer will deliver.
