The dramatic tail(s) of #comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) as seen from the STEREO A spacecraft on 18, 15 and 14 January: see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2025/01/21/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-21-januar-2025/#Jan21 for sources, links and context - and how the tail is emerging from dusk in the southern and (kind of) also northern hemisphere!

One hour from now #comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) - nice dusk picture from Oz today on the left - should appear in the live view of the 2 webcams https://friendica-leipzig.de/photo/media/475657 and https://allsky-dk154.asu.cas.cz/ at observatories in Chile: the pics on the right show what could be seen around 1:15 UTC (yesterday local time); the window between dusk getting dark enough and the comet setting isn't long. See https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2025/01/21/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-21-januar-2025/#Jan21 for many post-perihelion pictures of the comet and links to tons more, some pretty exotic!

The #NightSky over #LaSilla in #Chile at 1:18 UTC, with the #comet at the horizon and lots of other sky objects labeled, including four #planets (currently the subject of the global false internet meme that they have "lined up" or something; here you see that they are actually spread all over the sky).
