这颗新彗星已经经过了离太阳最近的地方,现在正在向地球靠近。C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)目前正从金星轨道内部移出,并将在大约两周内经过离地球最近的地方。图钦山-阿特拉斯彗星,发音为“Choo-cheen-shahn At-less”,接近肉眼可见,很容易被长曝光相机捕捉到。这颗彗星现在也可以被地球北半球和南半球的观测者发现。这张特色图片是几天前在墨西哥萨卡特卡斯上空拍摄的。由于云层遮住了黎明前的大部分天空,天体摄影师放飞了一架无人机,从更高的地方拍摄照片,其中几张照片后来被合并,以提高彗星的能见度。虽然彗星未来的亮度很难预测,但越来越多的人希望,在进入傍晚的天空时,冢山-阿特拉斯彗星会进一步变亮。正在成长的画廊:2024年的土钦山彗星- atlas

The new comet has passed its closest to the Sun and is now moving closer to the Earth. C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) is currently moving out from inside the orbit of Venus and on track to pass its nearest to the Earth in about two weeks. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, pronounced "Choo-cheen-shahn At-less,", is near naked-eye visibility and easily picked up by long-exposure cameras. The comet can also now be found by observers in Earth's northern hemisphere as well as the south. The featured image was captured just a few days ago above Zacatecas, Mexico. Because clouds were obscuring much of the pre-dawn sky, the astrophotographer released a drone to take pictures from higher up, several of which were later merged to enhance the comet's visibility. Although the future brightness of comets is hard to predict, there is increasing hope that Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS will further brighten as it enters the early evening sky.
