Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) | 10.17.2024

Detail Composite


I wanted to see if I could reveal more of the comet’s structure, so I stacked five images using a blending mode that highlights only the lighter tones. While this introduced some noise, it also revealed more of the comet’s structure and tail.

Distant Points of Light | Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) over Upstate New York
01.18.2023

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was discovered on March 22, 2022 by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) at the California Institute of Technology. The comet is believed to be a long-period comet, meaning it has an orbital period of 200 years or more. It was first observed when it was about 6.5 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun and is currently on its way toward the inner solar system. At the time of discovery, the comet was given a magnitude of around 18, which means it was quite faint and difficult to observe. However, as the comet gets closer to the Sun and Earth, it may become more visible to telescopes and potentially even to the naked eye.
