It's not every day that we are visited by a comet in the night sky - and certainly not one that is considered the \"comet of the century\"! The Comet C\/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS<\/strong> is about to pay a flying visit to Mallorca. According to Salvador S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>the founder of the Astronomical Observatory of Mallorca, it is between the October 11 and 15<\/strong> If you're lucky, we can watch the spectacle with the naked eye. So you don't need a telescope or any knowledge of astronomy, just find the right place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A comet with style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This young comet doesn't just pass by - no, it brings its glamorous tail with it, which will spread out in the October night sky. After a short break because it is currently passing between the Earth and the Sun, it will be visible again from the weekend. And when it appears on October 12 and 13<\/strong> shines brightest, it is \"only\" about 70 million kilometers<\/strong> away from us. Well, it's almost within reach, isn't it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where you can see the comet - here is the map!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to marvel at this celestial wonder, make yourself comfortable after sunset in a place where you won't be disturbed by street lamps or hotel lighting. Light pollution<\/strong> is your enemy, so it's best to find a spot in the Mallorcan countryside. Important: You need a unobstructed view to the west<\/strong>. No trees, no mountains in the way. The Venus<\/strong> could be your trusty compass - it lights up to the left of the comet's position. Then all you have to do is open your eyes and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this name - what does it actually mean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"C\/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS\" may sound complicated, but it's not that difficult. The \"C\" tells us that this comet is a rare guest that doesn't visit us regularly. And \"Tsuchinshan-ATLAS\"? These are the observatories that saw it first: A telescope in China and one in South Africa. Astronomy at its best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memories of Hale-Bopp<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For all those who still have a little nostalgia in their luggage: The last big comet that could be observed so wonderfully with the naked eye on Mallorca was Hale-Bopp<\/strong> For four weeks, it orbited above us - a sight that is still vivid in many people's minds. And who knows when we'll next get another visit from one of these in the sky?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, grab your binoculars (or just a comfy spot), and get ready for this celestial event. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS only gives a brief performance - but one that's well worth it!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
