Description

This photo captures Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) visible in the night sky above Silicon Valley, taken from Mt. Hamilton, east of San Jose. The comet’s tail is clearly seen, contrasting with the bright city lights below. The soft mist over the city adds to the unique blend of an astronomical event and urban scenery.
