G3 (ATLAS) should be visible from the southern hemisphere, and possibly also the northern hemisphere, over the next few days

A celestial event 160,000 years in the making will grace the night sky this week, as Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) makes its rare appearance. Expected to be the brightest comet in nearly 20 years, it could shine as brightly as the planet Venus,

One of the brightest comets in 20 years, Comet 2024 G3 (ATLAS) returns for a close encounter with the sun — but will we be able to see it?

A MASSIVE comet that is set to “shine brighter than Venus” could be visible over Ireland tonight. The comet, called C 2024 G3 Atlas, was spotted by astronomers at NASA last April. At

New photos of comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) suggest that it could be disintegrating due to "thermal stress" from its recent slingshot around the sun. However, its fate is still unclear.

A CLARE girl has “accidentally” observed a comet, catching the once-in-a-lifetime moment on camera. Lola Ola and her daughter Ebele got quite the surprise this morning when they

Comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024) is about to reach its closest point to the Sun in mid-January, making it the brightest comet of the year that won't be visible again for another 160,000 years. Here's when and how to spot it from Earth.

Comet ATLAS hit a maximum magnitude of -3.4 during its close encounter with the sun, just shy of the brightness of Venus in the night sky.

Comet G3 ATLAS is set to shine at its brightest this week, potentially outshining Venus and Jupiter. G3 ATLASs orbit is so big that it takes roughly 160,000 year to go around the Sun. As it approaches perihelion on January 13,

The icy space rock, known as C/2024 G3 Atlas is approaching the inner solar system. It is expected to make its closest approach to the Sun around Jan 13, when it may be visible, shining as brightly as Venus.

A once-in-a-lifetime comet has been spotted over New Zealand skies this week. Comet C/2024 G3 (Atlas), which last visited the Sun about 180,000 years ago, expected to continue to be visible for the next few nights for those with clear skies.

It got within 140 million km on 14 January, but as it heads off again into the void of space, the southern hemisphere is best placed to see it. Australian National University astrophysicist Dr Brad Tucker described it as the “brightest comet of the year”.
