Description

From the photographer: “By definition, the great comets in history were truly bright, with long tails, easily visible and historically recognizable. Well, the comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) might be the next one almost for sure. Yesterday, on October 14th, 2024, I made this picture over Roztoky, eastern Slovakia just when the moonlight of a nearly Full Moon illuminated the Autumn colored distant hills of Stebnicka Magura, Ostriež, Kaštielik or Javorina and couldn’t just believe how bright the comet was and how long tail was visible event with its anti-tail.
As C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) becomes to be incredibly well visible as Great Comet 2024, maybe something can be missed. Just so close to the majestic tail of this comet, photographers can also reveal the faint 13P/Olbers on its goodbye route.”
