C/2023 A3, or Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, is dubbed 'the comet of the century' for its expected brightness, comparable to historic comets like Halley's and NEOWISE.
As C/2023 A3 approaches the sun, its tail grows due to solar radiation, and a coma forms around the nucleus, enhancing its brightness.
The comet will be at its brightest on October 2, 2024, shining brilliantly in the northern hemisphere sky for optimal visibility.
For optimal viewing, C/2023 A3 will be seen near the horizon shortly before sunrise, reminiscent of how Mercury and Venus appear.
