Captured Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) in Goonellabah, surrounded by the usual local flora. Four weeks ago, at 4 am in Yamba, I first caught this comet on its journey toward the Sun. Now, it’s heading westward, leaving the Sun behind as it ventures back to the outer solar system. It’s a long farewell—it won’t return until the year 2127.
