       The Lincoln Memorial monument in Washington, DC, USA is pictured from   
      afar. Behind the monument is a sunset-colored pink sky. In the sky, on   
         the upper left, is a white streak that is a comet. Please see the   
                    explanation for more detailed information.

      Explanation: Go outside at sunset tonight and see a comet! C/2023 A3   
      (TsuchinshanCÇôATLAS) has become visible in the early evening sky in   
      northern locations to the unaided eye. To see the comet, look west   
      through a sky with a low horizon. If the sky is clear and dark enough,   
      you will not even need binoculars -- the faint tail of the comet should   
      be visible just above the horizon for about an hour. Pictured, Comet   
      Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was captured two nights ago over the Lincoln Memorial   
      monument in Washington, DC, USA. With each passing day at sunset, the   
      comet and its changing tail should be higher and higher in the sky,   
      although exactly how bright and how long its tails will be can only be   
      guessed.
