How To See The Bright Comet This Month!

Описание: C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) is diving toward the Sun. How bright will it get? Will it survive? How and when should we look for it? This month's video tackles these questions.

Update January 20: reports indicate that 2024 G3 is disintegrating. After putting on a fantastic show, primarily for southern hemisphere observers, the coma faded significantly, and the tail became spectacular for a night or two. It is now fading quickly.

We also track our old friend C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), and we've got you covered if you have ever wondered how comets get their names, and as a bonus, how to shorten comet names like a a pro.
