The ancient comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLASnamed “comet of the century” lit up the skies over Russia, China and North Macedonia on Monday, as seen in videos that have come to light.
C/2023 A3, a long-period comet, is returning to the inner solar system once every 80,000 years. First discovered in 2023, this celestial object made its debut in our inner solar system in a highly elliptical orbit, marking its first documented appearance in human history. The comet was spotted by observers at China’s Tsuchinshan, or Purple Mountain, observatory and the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) telescope in South Africa, with its official name honoring both observatories.
