A recently discovered comet was visible to the naked eye in mid-October, NASA said.

This timelapse footage, captured by Kevin Terrell, shows the comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS above Bucks Pocket State Park in Grove Oak, Alabama.

According to NASA, the ancient comet was discovered in 2023, and is estimated to have traveled from the outer reaches of Earth’s solar system.

The sightings around the world this autumn constitute a “once-in-80,000-year” event, NASA said. Credit: Kevin Terrell via Storyful
