There’s a brand new comet in the sky! No, not Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. And like the incredibly bright Comet Ikeya–Seki (above) in 1965, the new one is what’s called a sungrazer comet. How bright will it get?

It's all happening! October is looking like a very "celestial" month indeed.
This one hasn't been named yet as it was just discovered on 27 September 2024. We should be getting some interesting footage of this Sungrazer when it orbits around our Sun.
It is expected to be so bright that we could even see it in daylight! There's more information about this Sungrazer at Universe Magazine:

Whenever a comet visits our skies, I often wonder what payload they carry....
Namarie! 💛
