Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS wows skywatchers around the world and astronauts in space (photos, video)

A comet soars through the sky with a long white tail. the early morning sky is awash with color, with vivid hues of orange, red and purple.

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. But it's not just the early birds with good seats to the show: astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) are also enjoying the spectacle.

Here we take a look at some of the best photos of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS as it soars through Earth's skies, for the first time in about 80,000 years.
