Jay, Vermont— It’s been a great week at Jay Peak. They’ve seen measurable snowfall, allowing skiers and riders to get some turns in. While this was pretty cool, the best photograph from this week came from Thursday night.
Today, Jay Peak shared photos and a video of Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas (A3) flying past the Vermont ski resort between 7-7:30 p.m last night. The snow, foliage, and comet make it an epic photo.
According to Space.com, this is the brightest comet seen from Earth in a decade. It’s believed that the comet will be available to view in the U.S. until October 26th. After that, you’ll still be able to catch a glimpse via binoculars for a few weeks, then only from a telescope. According to the Weather Channel, the comet isn’t expected to be in the inner solar system for at least 80,000 years, if ever again.
