A visitor older than human memory is briefly sharing our sky. The Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet, energized by its recent passage around the Sun after tens of thousands of years in transit, now hangs visible in the western horizon over the Midlands — a fleeting intersection of deep cosmic time and an ordinary October evening. From now through October 18th, and most generously between the 14th and 18th, those who step outside an hour after sunset may witness something that will not come this way again in any living lifetime.
