Description:
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) imaged on May 28, 2024, is still stalled at magnitude 10.5. At least its dust tail is observed to be getting longer, reaching 12' in length in this image. It is located within the constellation Virgo, and the barred spiral galaxies NGC 4123 and NGC 4116, which are about 75 million light-years away, stand out in this field.
