My buddy Wilbur Norman in Santa Fe is an antique dealer who is also an excellent photographer and photo tour leader who goes all over the world to the coolest locations. Apparently he is about 100,000 years old but he still looks really good for his age.
He sent this email last night:
Hello All!
Most of you probably know there has been a comet from the Oort Cloud lingering around the neighborhood:
C-2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. It was viewed at Purple Mountain Observatory (Zijinshan Astronomical Observatory) in China on 9 January 2023. Then detected on 22 February 2023 by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System ) telescope in South Africa.
It last appeared 80,000 years ago and, sadly, tho I saw it, I lacked an intellectual understanding of it as I was in my migrating (yet again) out-of-Africa, early Homo sapiens and Homo floresiensis; Homo neanderthalensis; Denisovan phase.

Keep Looking Up!
