Catch the Fading Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Live Today!

Have you heard about the comet that's been zooming past Earth? C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is still hanging around but it's getting harder to spot with the naked eye. Don't worry, you can still see it up close today! Astronomer Gianluca Masi from the Virtual Telescope Project is hosting a free livestream at 2 p. m. EDT (1800 GMT) on October 21st. So, if you're in North America, look west at sunset or tune in online. Remember, the comet is getting fainter, so binoculars or a small telescope might help. It's like a race against time to catch a glimpse of this celestial visitor before it's gone! If you're into astronomy, you'll love this comet. It's putting on a great show, even though it's getting dimmer. It passed by Earth on October 12th and is heading higher in the sky. Astrophotographers have been snapping amazing shots of it too.
