Historical comet Tsuchinshan Atlas: Best prospects for Berlin!

A rare comet, the "Tsuchinshan Atlas", moves closer to Earth and will also be visible through Berlin in the coming nights. Himmels observers have to act quickly! From Thursday, the comet will appear in the evening sky and will climb over the western horizon on the nights. According to the ARD meteorologist Andreas Vögtlin, the best conditions for sighting on Saturday night could exist if the sky is mostly clear. However, the temperatures drop to frosty values between 1 and 6 degrees - warm clothing is mandatory!

In the best view, it is advisable to leave the bright streets of Berlin and to look west. Dark places such as the Teufelsberg in Grunewald or Tempelhofer Feld are particularly suitable, but the entrances close at 7 p.m. If you want to be on the safe side, you should travel to Havelland, which is one of the best places for star observation thanks to its low -light pollution. The comet, discovered in early 2023, comes from the Oortschen Cloud and is a non -periodic comet - a spectacular event for star lovers! For more information, see lomazoma.com .
