  • Prompt: Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS appeared from behind the Sun - now it can be seen in the east before dawn The first amateur images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS have appeared, which in late October approached the Sun at the shortest distance and disappeared behind it for observers from Earth. On November 1, she came out from behind the Sun and was discovered by Qicheng Zhang, an employee of the Lowell Observatory in Arizona, who filmed her at home with his amateur telescope. Within a week or two, the comet will be visible to amateur astronomers, but only early in the morning. "The comet is now a fairly easy target to observe in the morning when the weather is clear and the Sun is low in the east for anyone with a camera, even on a small telescope," explains Zhang. "It doesn't look very impressive right now, just a spot, a little more blurred than the stars around it, but over the next few days or weeks it should become more visible (including to the naked eye through a telescope)." Right now, the comet can only be seen with prolonged exposure. Soon, its brightness will be sufficient for direct observations with small telescopes. The comet will be visible in the eastern sky in the constellation Virgo in the morning hours before sunrise. It will be located above Venus. As we move away from the star, the brightness of the comet will decrease, and by the end of November it may become inaccessible for observations with amateur instruments.
