Jonti Horner writes that Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is expected to be the brightest spectacle of 2024. Our charts will help you find it in the night sky. University of Southern Queensland theconversation.com/the-best-comet…

We're about 9 hrs from Comet Tshuchinsan-ATLAS from entering the LASCO C3 images. It'll appear in the right-hand side. (Trust me -- you won't miss it!) Follow along: soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/…

Do you like #Astronomy? ✨ Or do you like #Space? 🚀 And do you live in #Toowoomba? Well - you should come along to University of Southern Queensland's festival of Astronomy and Space! I'll be speaking tomorrow night about galaxy collisions 🌌

Unquestionably the most conspicuous comet SOHO_Mission has ever seen, even if not technically the brightest 😍☄️ Can't wait to really dig into all the multi-spacecraft data next week! 🤓

PSA, particularly for science writers/journalists: PLEASE stop saying Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was "last seen 80,000yrs ago", and/or "will return in 80,000yrs". Neither of these are even remotely correct! [Details to follow...]

We're now under 48hrs from Kreutz-group sungrazing comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) entering the SOHO_Mission SOHO/LASCO C3 field of view. It's gonna be interesting to see how this one plays out... [short thread coming up] [📸 M.Mattiazzo, Oct 21 2024]

As many have pointed out, the LASCO images on the SOHO website are saturated. So this is the result of my own algo for processing them. And I will echo my sentiments from yesterday: This. Comet. Is. RIDICULOUS! 🤩😍 ☄️🔭☀️

My colleague and I at University of Southern Queensland are looking for a postdoc to do some cool science involving data from Gaia and RV exoplanet observations. For more info, check out the advert at: aas.org/jobregister/ad…
