Comet C/2023 A3, visible for the first time in 80,000 years, offers a unique celestial spectacle to stargazers in London and across the Northern Hemisphere.

The Oort Cloud is a theoretical structure surrounding our solar system that may contain numerous icy bodies, influencing both comet activity and the origin of life on Earth.

C/2023 A3 may soon be bright enough to see without telescopes, showcasing the unpredictability of comets.
