Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) sets beside the dome of the 6.5-m Magellan Telescope at Carnegie’s Las Campanas Observatory in the Atacama Desert, Chile. I captured this photo on January 22, 2025, during late twilight. A remarkable farewell to astronomers! As the comet grows fainter, its final display is simply stunning!
