I feel like we could all use some good news right now, so here you go: Bright comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS will become visible in the evening sky starting tomorrow night.

Clear view to the west essential. Sharp eyes highly recommended. Pointers at the link.

The bright Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS will first become visible in the evening sky on October 11th, appearing between Antares, the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius, and Arcturus, the brightest star in Boötes. While opening night will have it competing against twilight, it will be both higher in the sky and more visible against darker skies on subsequent evenings.
