G3 (ATLAS) should be visible from the southern hemisphere, and possibly also the northern hemisphere, over the next few days

A once-in-a-lifetime comet is approaching the sun — and it will be visible for the first time in 160,000 years. The comet will also be at its closest point to the Earth and might become the brightest comet of the year during a year when no other comets are set to be visible to the naked eye.

A comet visible only once every 160,000 years is set to fly by Earth. And there's a pretty decent chance you can see it. Called C/2024 G3 Atlas, the sub-zero icy space rock is set to be visible from planet Earth in the next week.
