– Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) has just emerged from behind the sun, and its appearance has astronomers buzzing with anticipation. "The comet is brightening rapidly," says Australian astrophotographer Michael Mattiazzo, who has been monitoring the comet in dawn twilight.
Some astronomers predicted Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS would fall apart during its transit behind the sun. The fact that it is still intact and healthy means we could witness a bright naked-eye comet next month.
"Prospects remain excellent for a visually impressive evening display in mid-October," says Qicheng Zhang of the Lowell Observatory. "Weather permitting, the entire Northern Hemisphere should be able to see Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS."
Nick James of the British Astronomical Association just wrote an article anticipating the bright comet. "It makes its closest approach to Earth on October 12 when it will be 0.47 au away in the constellation of Virgo," he says. "There is a possibility that the comet will be at a negative magnitude as it emerges into the evening sky from Oct. 10th onwards."
Earth will get a second moon for about two months this year when a small asteroid begins to orbit our planet. The asteroid was discovered in August and is set to become a mini-moon, revolving around Earth in a horseshoe shape from Sept. 29 to Nov. 25.
Researchers at the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, an asteroid monitoring system funded by NASA, spotted the asteroid using an instrument in Sutherland, South Africa and labeled it 2024 PT5.
Scientists from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid have tracked the asteroid’s orbit for 21 days and determined its future path. 2024 PT5 is from the Arjuna asteroid belt, which orbits the sun, according to their study published in Research Notes of the AAs.
But Earth’s gravitational pull will draw 2024 PT5 towards it and, much like our moon, it will orbit our planet — but only for 56.6 days.
