Once-in-a-lifetime ‘sungrazer’ comet set to shine through skies and it’s one of the brightest in 20 years

ONE of the brightest comets to pass Earth in nearly 20 years could be visible to the naked eye in a once-in-a-lifetime display next week.

The space rock, formally known as G3 ATLAS (C/2024), is expected to reach peak brightness later this week.
