Dortmund - C2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-Atlas) 13.10.2024 01

            C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) is a comet from the Oort cloud discovered by the Purple Mountain Observatory in China on 9 January 2023 and independently found by ATLAS South Africa on 22 February 2023. The comet passed perihelion at a distance of 0.39 AU (58 million km; 36 million mi) on 27 September 2024, when it became visible to the naked eye. Tsuchinshan-Atlas peaked it's brightest magnitude shortly after passing the sun at October 9, with a magnitude of -4.9 as per observation from Comet Observation Database (COBS) and was briefly visible to the naked eye during the day.

The comet has a retrograde orbit, lying at an inclination of 139°. Τhe comet had its perihelion on 27 September 2024, at a distance of 0.391 AU. Τhe closest approach to Earth will be on 12 October 2024, at a distance of 0.47 AU. The comet does not approach close to the giant planets of the Solar System The orbit is weakly bound to the Sun before entering the planetary region of the Solar System. Due to planetary perturbations, the outbound orbit will have a smaller eccentricity than the inbound orbit. So the orbital period and aphelion distance become much shorter. The weakly hyperbolic trajectory may or may not result in the comet being ejected from the Solar System. It is expected to be 200 AU from the Sun in the year 2239.
