Astronomer catches sight of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS returning to the predawn sky — Here's how you can too

Comet 3I/ATLAS is feasible as a bright point of glowing light in the center of a pixelated black and dark grey background.

After briefly escaping from Earth's view during a (very) close approach to the sun on Oct. 30, Comet 3I/ATLAS can finally be seen through amateur telescopes again, though it's impossible to say how long the interstellar invader will remain detectable for.

3I/ATLAS was discovered earlier this year, on July 1, and was swiftly confirmed to be just the third interstellar object known to have visited our solar system. It's believed to have formed around a distant star.
