A Celestial Treat for Stargazers
But thatโs not all, folks! As the sun sets at 6:20 p.m. CT, keep your eyes peeled for a stunning view of the cosmos. The famed 80,000 Year Comet (known as Comet Tsuchinshan – ATLAS, discovered in 2023) will be making an appearance in the west-southwestern sky. You can catch a glimpse of this spectacular sight about 45 minutes after sunset, so be sure to have your cameras ready.
