Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS
The wait was long, but it was worth it. We've been hearing about the approach of this comet for about 1 year, and it is already on its way, heading away from earth again.
This will be my final telescopic rendition of this 3,2 kilometer rock that was travelling at 67.33 km/s in its perihelion (the point in the orbit of a astronomical body, at which it is closest to the sun.)
I'll risk saying when this comet comes back close to Earth in 80000 years, we won't be seeing it again... Let that sink in.
