“Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS over Mexico” is copyrighted by Daniel Korona. 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 now brightening as it moves closer to Earth after its pass by the Sun. It is currently inside the orbit of Venus and will make its closest approach to Earth in about two weeks. This image, taken over Mexico, shows the comet with a visible tail, now observable from both hemispheres.
