NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – If you want to see a once-in-80,000-year comet in the Tennessee night sky, you don’t have much time left.

Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas (Atlas A3 C/2023) will be visible for 45 minutes after sunset.

To see it, WSMV4 First Alert Meteorologist Stefano DiPietro suggests looking in the western part of the sky near Venus.

The comet will get high and duller in the sky from now until Oct. 21 when it won’t be visible anymore. It hasn’t been to earth in 80,000 years and won’t return for another 80,000.
