這顆新彗星已經越過了離太陽最近的位置，現在正在向地球靠近。C/ 2023 A 3 （Tsuchinshan-ATLAS）目前正從金星軌道內向外移動，並有望在大約兩週後透過離地球最近的位置。 月琴山-ATLAS 彗星發音為 "Choo-cheen-shahn At-less"，接近肉眼可見度，很容易被長曝光相機捕捉到。 地球北半球和南半球的觀測者現在也能發現這顆彗星。 這張照片是幾天前在墨西哥薩卡特卡斯上空拍攝的。由於雲層遮住了黎明前的大部分天空，這位天文攝影師放飛了一架無人機，從高處拍攝照片，隨後將其中幾張照片合併，以提高彗星的可見度。雖然彗星未來的亮度很難預測，但人們越來越希望月琴山-ATLAS 彗星在進入傍晚天空時會進一步變亮。 成長相簿： 2024 年的月神山-ATLAS 彗星
原文：The new comet has passed its closest to the Sun and is now moving closer to the Earth. C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) is currently moving out from inside the orbit of Venus and on track to pass its nearest to the Earth in about two weeks. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, pronounced "Choo-cheen-shahn At-less,", is near naked-eye visibility and easily picked up by long-exposure cameras. The comet can also now be found by observers in Earth's northern hemisphere as well as the south. The featured image was captured just a few days ago above Zacatecas, Mexico. Because clouds were obscuring much of the pre-dawn sky, the astrophotographer released a drone to take pictures from higher up, several of which were later merged to enhance the comet's visibility. Although the future brightness of comets is hard to predict, there is increasing hope that Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS will further brighten as it enters the early evening sky.
