A once-in-80,000-year sight will make its closest approach to Earth this weekend before heading into the vast abyss of outer space.
Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas made its closest approach to the sun in September and will come within 44 million miles of Earth.
Due to its proximity, the celestial object will appear in the western sky after sunset each evening until around mid to late month.
