Comet A3 Rising Above the Texas Treetops

Captured from Comanche Lookout in San Antonio, Texas, this nighttime photograph features Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) glowing low above the horizon as it slowly faded into twilight. Framed by the silhouettes of native Texas trees and a sky filled with distant stars, the comet's delicate tail is visible against the evening glow, highlighting one of the most memorable astronomical events of 2024. Photographed with a Nikon D850 during the comet's brief appearance, this image preserves a rare celestial visitor that won't return for thousands of years. #EngelPhotography #CometA3 #TsuchinshanATLAS #Astrophotography #NightPhotography #NightSky #Stars #ComancheLookout #SanAntonio #Texas #Astronomy #Skywatching #LongExposure #CelestialPhotography #LandscapesAndNature
