A recently-spotted comet is expected to shine brighter than the stars in the night sky as it passes our planet, according to astronomers.
The comet, named C/2023 A3, is hurtling toward the Earth at about 180,610 mph, per space.com.
If all goes well, the comet, which last passed by the Earth about 80,000 years ago, will start being visible with the naked eye around October 2024, according to data from the Minor Planet Center.
It could be as bright or brighter as our stars, and much more brilliant than the recent ZTF green comet that passed the Earth last month.
