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 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

New photos of comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) suggest that it could be disintegrating due to "thermal stress" from its recent slingshot around the sun. However, its fate is still unclear.

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.

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.

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

A once-in-a-lifetime comet is expected to be visible in the sky over the UK tonight, and here's how you can make sure you get to witness it.

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.

It last passed nearby 180,000 years ago and the next few nights could be your last chance to ever see it as it drifts over New Zealand skies.

Up to seven planets are set to align in the night sky over the UK in January and February - here's when and how to see the rare event.

NASA’s Lucy mission will continue its journey to explore the Jupiter Trojan asteroids, which share Jupiter’s orbit around the Sun, in 2025. One key event for Lucy is its flyby of the inner main-belt asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson, scheduled for April 20, 2025.

Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) came within 8.3 million miles of the sun on January 13 as it reached its perihelion, and is now disintegrating.
