彗星C/2023 A3 （Tsuchinshan-ATLAS）在地球的天空中变得越来越亮。这颗被人们亲切地称为A3彗星的内太阳系新访客来自遥远的奥尔特云。这颗彗星在9月27日到达近日点，这是它离太阳最近的地方，它将在10月12日到达近日点，这是它离我们美丽的星球最近的地方，届时它将成为夜空中的一道幻影。但在9月30日拍摄这张照片的时候，A3彗星是一颗早起的彗星。在巴西南部圣卡塔琳娜州的普拉亚格兰德，它明亮的彗发和已经很长的尾巴分享了黎明前的天空景观，东方地平线上隐约可见渐弱的新月。虽然彗星的行为是出了名的不可预测，但Tsuchinshan-ATLAS可能会成为一颗在视觉上与C/2020 F3 （NEOWISE）相媲美的彗星。2020年夏天，NEOWISE彗星令观星者惊叹不已。正在成长的画廊：2024年的土钦山彗星- atlas
查看原文解释
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) is growing brighter in planet Earth's sky. Fondly known as comet A3, this new visitor to the inner Solar System is traveling from the distant Oort cloud. The comet reached perihelion, its closest approach to the Sun, on September 27 and will reach perigee, its closest to our fair planet, on October 12, by then becoming an evening sky apparition. But comet A3 was an early morning riser on September 30 when this image was made. Its bright coma and already long tail share a pre-dawn skyscape from Praia Grande, Santa Catarina in southern Brazil with the waning crescent Moon just peeking above the eastern horizon. While the behaviour of comets is notoriously unpredictable, Tsuchinshan–ATLAS could become a comet visually rivaling C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE). Comet NEOWISE wowed skygazers in the summer of 2020.
