Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, as seen from a cornfield in Williamsburg, where a group of astronomy enthusiasts had gathered to view it on Saturday night. The comet will travel higher and higher in the sky each night until around Halloween, making it dimmer and more difficult to see. The comet is visible to the naked eye, but it is best to view it through binoculars, according to The Washington Post. Once it disappears from view, the comet won’t be visible for another 80,000 years.
