“Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Approaches” is copyrighted by Brian Valente & Greg Stein. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan, ATLAS) is becoming unexpectedly bright as it approaches its closest points to the Sun and Earth. While comet brightness is hard to predict, there is a chance it could become visible to the unaided eye. It will pass closest to the Sun this week and closest to Earth early next month. This image shows the comet's growing coma and tail.
