The night sky goes from blue to pink as you look from top to bottom. In the middle is a comet; it looks like a relatively bright yellow dot with a long, diffuse yellow tail. Some stars are visible in the blue portion of the sky.

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) passes over NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans in this Oct. 13, 2024, image. This comet comes from the Oort Cloud, far beyond Pluto and the most distant edges of the Kuiper Belt. Though Comet C/2023 A3 will be visible through early November, the best time to observe is between now and Oct. 24.
