The Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is currently visible to the naked eye. It was brightest on Oct. 13, but can still be seen through the end of the month.
This is the brightest comet to be seen in the past 27 years, according to EarthSky.

There's still time to catch the tail end of this comet in Tennessee. Here's how to catch a glimpse of Comet C.
On Oct. 15, the comet will be visible at an altitude of 29.33° above the horizon near Knoxville, according to The Sky Live.
To see the comet, EarthSky recommends finding Venus, the brightest planet, and then looking to the right to see Comet A3's long wispy tail. The comet is visible to the naked eye in dark skies, however, you may need a small binocular in light-polluted areas.
In the mornings, before sunrise, the comet will be low in the Eastern sky.
You can watch for the comet both before sunrise and after sunset. It is unlikely that the comet will be visible in daylight.
When to watch: Not just a hunter's moon. October's full moon is also a supermoon.
