Komeet Zichtbaar: Witness the Spectacle
ARNHEM - From October 11 to 15, those gazing at the sky in Arnhem can catch a glimpse of the comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. The comet zichtbaar phenomenon brings this celestial body closer to Earth than Venus, making it potentially visible to the naked eye.
Comet and Its Characteristics
- The comet, also known as C/2023 A3, features a long, beautiful tail, as highlighted by meteorologist Johnny Willemsen from Weerplaza.
- Kometen consist of icy crystals, dust, and debris.
- As a comet approaches the sun, the ice begins to vaporize, releasing debris that forms a large tail.
The last time this comet passed near Earth was during the era of the Neanderthals, with its orbit estimated at around 80,000 years.
Don't Miss This Rare Phenomenon
With the chance to see the komeet zichtbaar only occurring once in a human lifetime, be sure to set your sights on the sky this October. The beauty of nature is on display, and Arnhem's residents are in for a memorable experience.
