Comet G3 is getting exciting! Here it is from my back porch overlooking Toowoomba just an hour after sunset.

It's better up on the ISS ... a picture of #comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) by Don Pettit from the 9th: www.reddit.com/r/space/comm... - for observers on the ground it's getting lost in the twilight now, in spite of its continuing rise in brightness.

G3 ATLAS is now entering LASCO C3! ☀️🔭🛰️ Judging by the saturation spikes, it's at the upper end of our brightness estimates (maybe mag -1 or so? Just eyeballing, so could be off on that). Anyway, follow along over the next few days: soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtim...

Very fortunate to be working here at the observatory in South Africa this evening and Comet C/2024 G3 Atlas finally appeared in the evening sky behind our telescope.

The ghost of comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) from last night (2025-04-18). The comet disintegrated in mind January but the remaining loose cloud of dust and rubble continues to reflect enough light to be detected in a small telescope. The dust still forms a nice parabolic hood.

Comet 240P/NEAT has now a small fragment (B) that is bright enough to be seen with modest telescopes. The nucleus shines at about mag 12 while B is two magnitudes fainter. #cometWatch #astrophotography
