The distance between 3I and Earth will be getting smaller up to mid December, but it will never be even astronomically close to Earth (closest approach is at a distance of 270 million km, almost twice the distance from the Sun). After that it gets lost in space.

It is a tail pointing towards the Sun, at the opposite side of the other tails. It is visible when the Earth, the Sun and the comet are roughly aligned and it is dust too heavy for the solar wind to move quickly.

Congratulations for viewing an interstellar object with your eyes!

With a different interpretation of the word arrive and how close this is.

Is the Origin worth the price? At the same price you can get a rasa 8, a 585 cooled and a nice eq mount like heq5.

IMO, highlights of the month are the T CrB exploding at last (25/11 most likely) and 3I clearing Sun's glare and becoming visible again for Earth based observers.

Is it permanently active? A bit like 29P?

Have you seen C/2025 K1 (ATLAS)? It has emerged quite spectacular from its perihelion.

Such a beautiful wide angle view. Lovely!

Nice disconnection in the tail.

Spread tail indicates either a curve or a tail pointing towards Earth. Sungrazers have narrow straight tails.

Hopefully there will be a window in the clouds to get a glimpse of it.

Was it visible with naked eye?

Grab your camera, major disconnection in the ion tail a few degrees from the nucleus!

Underated region of the night sky. So much dust and nebulae.
