Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is Now the Brightest Comet in 13 Years! This incredible comet has overtaken NEOWISE from 2020 in brightness, with current estimates of 0.4 magnitude! The tail is stretching a whopping 15 degrees across the sky—that's equal to the width of 30 Full Moons! 🌕 💥 The forward scattering effect on the comet's dust is kicking in, which is expected to boost its brightness even more in the coming 2-3 weeks. Predictions for this comet to become the brightest of the Northern Hemisphere in the 21st century are looking more and more likely. 📅 Key Dates: Oct 9: The comet could reach a magnitude of -5, making it bright enough for daytime observations! Oct 11/12: Northern Hemisphere stargazers will finally get a view in the evening sky with a magnitude of -3. The best visibility will last from October 12 to October 30, just after sunset. ✨ The Brightest Comets in the Last 60 Years: - 1965: Comet Ikeya-Seki, -10 mag - 1975: Comet West, -3 mag - 1997: Comet Hale-Bopp, -1 mag - 2003: Comet NEAT, -1 mag - 2007: Comet McNaught, -5 mag* - 2011: Comet Lovejoy, -3 mag* - 2020: Comet NEOWISE, +1 mag (* = visible only in the Southern Hemisphere) Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle! Keep your eyes on the sky! 👀✨ 1st image: © Yuri Beletsky 2nd image: © Gerald Rhemann 3rd image: © Jose Santivañez 4th image: © Gergő Tóth #CometC2023A3 #TsuchinshanATLAS #CometWatching #Astronomy #Stargazing #NightSky #C2023A3 #StarWalk #c2023a3_daily

Bollington Festival is 60 years old and tomorrow is the final day of a rather short and small version of what it has been in the past.

@GWandShows #BBCChelsea #askmontyandjoe I'd be curious to hear suggestions please of how to counter vine weevil naturally when container growing edibles in yards where no natural predators reach (eg no birds, hedgehogs etc due to cats and no habitat)

@RogerHallamCS21 When do the levels start rising? Just curious, because I've been going to the same beach hut for ever and the sea level is just exactly the same as it always was 🤷‍♂️ I mean, sincere question, not being antsy or anything, just genuinely wondering.

Just to be clear - the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has already locked in the destruction of every coastal city through sea level rise, and thereby the destruction of the world economy, and made half the world uninhabitable effectively, for ever. If what the elites have done is not the greatest crime ever I don't know what is.
NOAA Climate.gov@NOAAClimate

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around 4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today, the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, & large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.

@SoVeryBritish Pull the bed out, check behind and beneath all furniture for nasties, strip the sheets off and check the mattress. Apply anti bug. Disinfect surfaces and handles. Remove kettle and mugs. Open the windows.

@EdgeCGroup @SoVeryBritish The kettle is the most important item in the room for me. I always make sure I have a supply of teabags with me too 🤣

@channel5_tv So ads are popping up on My5 again. So I am avoiding them by muting and running a separate mini window over the screen during that unnecessary nonsense. Works a treat 👍

@darrengrimes Darren, do you have a hearing impairment? You can clearly hear screams and a woman calling the police. Nobody is 'cool' with this.

💸 PETITION 🚗 Tell @CheshireEast where they can stick their #Bollington car park charges. Pool Bank car park is needed by residents of the old terraces where there's no street parking. Charges will kill local business that knits the community together. chng.it/T6b7jRphGz

🚄 Looks like the #HS2 NATURE LOSS sums done by, yes those responsible for forcing HS2 on us all, may be WRONG - *seriously* wrong. CALL FOR A MORATORIUM while someone does the math and #ReThinkHS2. This is what happens when people mark their own homework. wildlifetrusts.org/hs2-sign-our-o…
