Comet as seen from Plimmerton Beach last night around 10pm-ish.

I'd love to say this is my photograph but they're from my mate Hannah, lucky woman.

Calm bay, reflecting red pilon lights, sun just gone down on a clear warm summer's evening, and the comet can be seen wooshing away.

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).

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 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!

#Comet ATLAS Rounds the Sun

Comet ATLAS displayed colorful tails in a SOHO image due to sunlight reflecting off dust (white tails) and specific gases emitting light in ion tails (red, blue, green). The comet brightened near the Sun but is now fading as it exits the inner Solar System.

Did Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) survive its close flyby of the Sun?

Perhaps, it did.

Here is an image of the Sun's corona taken by the NASA/ESA SOHO spacecraft with Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) in the view, about 15 hours after perihelion.

The image was taken by the Large Angle and Spectrometric COronagraph (LASCO) instrument aboard the NASA/ESA SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft.

The best vantage point for observing Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) is in space. Which is where astronaut Don Pettit took this stunning photograph from, perched with his camera behind a window in the NASA ISS at ~400 km altitude, on Jan 11.

What a beauty! This is comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) passing through the field of view of the LASCO C3 coronagraph.

It wasn't for certain whether it would survive it's closest approach to the sun on January 13th, but it did and delivered us a spectacular show!

#comet #C2024G3 #space #astrodon


Comet C/2024 G3 very low in bright evening twilight as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico at 9,000 feet. (Tuesday, 14 January)

At the time of this photo, the sun was about 6 degrees below the horizon (very bright twilight!) and the comet was about 1 to 2 degrees above the horizon.

The second image is a 3x crop of the first.

I never saw the comet with my eyes. I was pointing the camera blind. First image is the complete frame of an APS-C camera and 200mm lens.

The comet, only a minute before it set behind distant conifers that are black silhouettes. The twilight sky is orange and it transitions to a dark blue along the top edge of the frame. The comet's tail points straight up, but is short.

Day by day it will get slightly higher in the sky.
This is a 3x crop of the first image.


this is not #AI

this is not a scene from a movie

this is simply a one in a billion video shot at the right time at the right angle by a teenager in #portugal a few days ago, may 18/ 19

fucking amazing! positively biblical

#space #meteor

experts say it was a #comet fragment, a few feet wide
