Get ready, sky watchers! A rare celestial event is currently taking place in the skies above Pune, India. Aniruddha Deshpande from Jyotirvidya Pratishthan reported that a comet is visible through binoculars in the South Eastern part of the city around 5:15 a.m. If there are no clouds, the comet’s coma can even be seen with the naked eye. The comet, named C/2023 A3, will become even clearer in the western sky after sunset on October 12th, following its perihelion.
This sighting is particularly special as it has been many months since a comet visible to the naked eye has graced our skies. Photographers from all over Pune have been capturing stunning images of the comet, adding to the excitement for sky watchers and researchers alike.
One such photographer is 19-year-old Prathamesh Jaju, whose images of Comet C/2023 A3 have been gaining recognition in the astrophotography community. His work not only showcases the comet’s beauty but also serves as a valuable contribution to both scientific and amateur astronomy.
As more and more people become interested in this rare celestial event, Comet C/2023 A3 is expected to be one of the most spectacular skywatching events of the year. So grab your binoculars and keep an eye on the skies for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the beauty of the cosmos.
