G3 (ATLAS) should be visible from the southern hemisphere, and possibly also the northern hemisphere, over the next few days

A CLARE girl has “accidentally” observed a comet, catching the once-in-a-lifetime moment on camera. Lola Ola and her daughter Ebele got quite the surprise this morning when they

G3 is set to dazzle Southern Hemisphere skywatchers in mid-January. Here’s everything you need to know about the 'New Year comet'.

A MASSIVE comet that is set to “shine brighter than Venus” could be visible over Ireland tonight. The comet, called C 2024 G3 Atlas, was spotted by astronomers at NASA last April. At

A celestial event 160,000 years in the making will grace the night sky this week, as Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) makes its rare appearance. Expected to be the brightest comet in nearly 20 years, it could shine as brightly as the planet Venus,

A newly-discovered comet might light up the night sky in the coming weeks, possibly shining even brighter than the planet Venus. The comet, named Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3), is making a beeline for the sun,

Venus and Saturn will be in conjunction this weekend, appearing side by side in the night sky during January's post-sunset "planet parade."

G3 (ATLAS) is now visible in the post-sunset night sky. It's best seen in the Southern Hemisphere, but it's visible north of the equator if you know where to look.

One of the brightest comets in 20 years, Comet 2024 G3 (ATLAS) returns for a close encounter with the sun — but will we be able to see it?

Comet ATLAS hit a maximum magnitude of -3.4 during its close encounter with the sun, just shy of the brightness of Venus in the night sky.

In the photo from the space station, the comet is captured just above Earth’s horizon, which is illuminated by a bright light — also known as airglow — that occurs in the planet’s upper atmosphere when atoms and molecules emit light after being excited by sunlight.

Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are visible to the naked eye in January and for part of February. Uranus and Neptune can only be spotted with binoculars and telescopes.
