Summary

80% Informative

Comet C/2023 A3 (TsuchinshanâATLAS) has sprouted a rare "anti-tail" The quirk of gravity, light, and physics makes the comet appear to have a typical tail trailing behind it in some views, while in others, it seems to shoot out from the front.

Comet A3 is the brightest to cross our planetâs sky in 27 years , leading some to dub it the Comet of the Century.

It takes an estimated 80,000 years to complete a single orbit of the Sun , a period so long that Neanderthals still roamed the Earth , long before telescopes were invented.
