3I/ATLAS has finally reached the next phase in its flight journey across the universe.
In a report by the New York Post, it was noted that this massive comet can now be viewed by those with a telescope. Astronomer Qicheng Zhang took a photo of this space object at the beginning of the month, telling the outlet, “The comet is easily visible with small telescopes now.”

Zhang noted that the visibility of 3I/ATLAS is due the fact that it is “rising early enough in [the] morning twilight.” Right now, the comet appears as a “fuzzy dot” in photos taken of it.
The scientific researcher also discussed how larger telescopes are not usually made for capturing comets, while Zhang used a smaller one “constructed with comet observations in mind.”
In an article by Live Science, Zhang was also quoted saying, “All you need is a clear sky and a very low eastern horizon…It won’t look impressive, it’s just a smudge, but it will be an increasingly visible smudge over the next few days.”
