“Animation: Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Tails Prediction” is copyrighted by Nico Lefaudeux. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS has dramatically brightened as it passed close to the Sun and Earth. This animation predicts the appearance of its tails. Despite becoming one of the brightest comets in a century, it was difficult to observe due to its proximity to the Sun. As it moves away, the comet is becoming a remarkable sight in the night sky.
