G3 (ATLAS) should be visible from the southern hemisphere, and possibly also the northern hemisphere, over the next few days

A CLARE girl has “accidentally” observed a comet, catching the once-in-a-lifetime moment on camera. Lola Ola and her daughter Ebele got quite the surprise this morning when they

G3 is set to dazzle Southern Hemisphere skywatchers in mid-January. Here’s everything you need to know about the 'New Year comet'.

A MASSIVE comet that is set to “shine brighter than Venus” could be visible over Ireland tonight. The comet, called C 2024 G3 Atlas, was spotted by astronomers at NASA last April. At

A celestial event 160,000 years in the making will grace the night sky this week, as Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) makes its rare appearance. Expected to be the brightest comet in nearly 20 years, it could shine as brightly as the planet Venus,

A newly-discovered comet might light up the night sky in the coming weeks, possibly shining even brighter than the planet Venus. The comet, named Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3), is making a beeline for the sun,

One of the brightest comets in 20 years, Comet 2024 G3 (ATLAS) returns for a close encounter with the sun — but will we be able to see it?

In the photo from the space station, the comet is captured just above Earth’s horizon, which is illuminated by a bright light — also known as airglow — that occurs in the planet’s upper atmosphere when atoms and molecules emit light after being excited by sunlight.

G3 (ATLAS) is now visible in the post-sunset night sky. It's best seen in the Southern Hemisphere, but it's visible north of the equator if you know where to look.

Comet ATLAS hit a maximum magnitude of -3.4 during its close encounter with the sun, just shy of the brightness of Venus in the night sky.

Comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024) is about to reach its closest point to the Sun in mid-January, making it the brightest comet of the year that won't be visible again for another 160,000 years. Here's when and how to spot it from Earth.
