A rare sight

The C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet is shown burning in the sky above Heart Mountain in this photo taken Sunday night near the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center. The comet, discovered in 2023, only comes to our part of the galaxy once every 80,000 years. It can be viewed for the next ten days in the early evening. Watch for where the sun sets and then look up about 15 degrees from the horizon about 45 minutes after the sun dips below the horizon.
