THE NASA the United States space agency, published a photo of “comet of the century ” passing over the sky of Mexico this Monday (30). Check out the image below.
“OC/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–Atlas) [que está sendo chamado de ‘cometa do século‘] it is currently moving out of Venus’ orbit and on track to pass closer to Earth in about two weeks,” the agency wrote.
“The featured image was captured a few days ago above Zacatecas, Mexico. As clouds were obscuring much of the pre-dawn sky, the astrophotographer [Daniel Korona] launched a drone to take photos from above, several of which were later merged to improve visibility of the comet.”
The comet is easily detected by long-exposure cameras, both in the Earth’s northern hemisphere and in the south.
Daily, the NASA chooses photo of the day and publishes it on its official website, highlighting impactful image captures from the sky. The agency’s publication was part of the daily series.

Initial predictions about the celestial body indicated that it could shine brighter than the planet Venus in the sky, but recent data indicates that the comet is unlikely to reach its full potential — although it could still be seen with the naked eye last weekend.
