Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is putting on a delightful early-morning display for those fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the spectacle before it's lost in the glare of the rising sun.

It will continue to be visible until Oct. 2 just before sunrise and then again between Oct. 12 and Oct. 30 .

The comet will make its closest approach to Earth on Oct. 13 .

Astronauts on the International Space Station are also enjoying the spectacle.

"Comet rises up over the horizon just before orbital sunrise with aurora streaking by," Dominick Dominick wrote in a post on X.com .
