      Petr Horálek in Europe was able to take a picture of the comet C/2024 G3 ATLAS. Not only that, he saw this comet with the naked eye. Let’s hope for good weather, we should be able to see it as well.

        Monday or Tuesday 1/13 and 1/14 could be sunny and comet C/2024 G3 could be visible on day sky. On Monday above Sun, so Sun could be blocked by roof,  on Tuesday comet will be on the left side of the Sun, so Sun could be blocked by the vertical wall on the right side.

          Sungrazing Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) has just entered the field of view of SOHO’s C3 coronagraph (see image below).  Should be great viewing of the comet’s fiery passage near the sun.

            C/2024 G3 is still intact in SOHO C3 images from today.

                Maybe 4:45 to 5 pm today we’ll get a chance to see the comet?
