Tsuchinshan-Atlas comet

Did you catch the comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas this week? It has been visible to the naked eye (more helpful with binoculars!) just above the west/southwestern horizon after sunset. If you missed the comet, you have until the end of the month. Then it won't be back this way for 80,000 years. Thanks to reader Ben H. for this comet capture photo!
