October 12, 2024, hōkū lele C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS made it’s 80,000 year orbit past our planet.
As the sun fell below the horizon on the North Shore of O'ahu, we turned our gaze out to the ocean. 15 minutes into dusk, the clouds parted and we could see the brilliant comet tail. Thankful to witness such a rare and significant celestial event here at home.
