Comet ..
A comet that hasn’t visited Earth’s skies in 170,000 years is returning… and it’s already glowing brighter. ☄️✨
Comet C/2025 R3 (Pan-STARRS) is now visible under truly dark skies, and over the next 10 mornings, it will only get easier to spot.
This isn’t just another comet — it’s a once-in-a-human-history event.
The last time it passed by our planet, early humans were still sharing the Earth with extinct giants.
It will reach perihelion — its closest point to the Sun — on April 19, passing at a safe distance of about 0.5 AU (half the distance between Earth and the Sun).
Then comes its brightest moment:
On April 27, it will make its closest approach to Earth… shining at peak visibility.
But there’s a catch.
By then, this ancient traveler will disappear from Northern Hemisphere skies, making these next few mornings your only chance to witness it.
Miss it now… and you’ll have to wait another 170,000 years.
