Once-in-lifetime comet to pass Earth for first time in 80,000 YEARS

The comet, which will look like a faint star-like blob with a hazy tail, should be viewable just before dawn on four consecutive mornings.

Comet C/2023 A3 was only discovered early last year, but based on its orbital trajectory scientists estimate that it last passed Earth 80,000 years ago.

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick shared a stunning clip from the ISS, stating, 'This comet is going to make for some really cool images as it gets closer to the sun.'

Stuart Atkinson described the comet's appearance as 'a fuzzy star with a misty tail' and noted it will be beneath the moon, very low in the east.
