How to See Komeet 14 Oktober

To catch a glimpse of komeet 14 oktober, make sure to head outside between 19:00 and 21:00. Position yourself facing the west and watch the skies. Just remember, a few clouds might interfere with visibility!

Why This Comet is Special

  • Komeet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is a rare sight, only passing by Earth once every 80,000 years.
  • It's not just a rock; it's made of dust, ice, and remnants from the solar system's formation.
  • NASA states that nearly 4000 comets exist in our solar system, but this one is unique due to its long orbit.

If you’d like to get closer to the comet, using a telescope or binoculars might increase your chances. As it moves farther from the Earth, visibility will continue to diminish.
