Comet Atlas C/2024 G3, discovered by the Atlas Survey System, has been slowly. A preliminary orbit for this comet indicated that it was going to pass exceptionally close — less than 9 million miles (14 million km) from the sun in mid-January 2025; only about one-quarter. Comet ATLAS C/2024 G3 will come within 8.3 million miles of the sun during perihelion, an orbit's closest point to the sun, on January 13.

Even though we are just one week into 2025, the brightest comet of the year is on its way and is expected to pass by the sun on Monday, January 13, according to EarthSky.org
