BUFFALO, N.Y. — There is another celestial event that you can see in the sky this weekend.
A comet scientifically known C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) can be seen in the western sky soon after sunset. Look near the horizon as well.
The comet is getting fainter with each passing evening, but it should still be visible in WNY through the weekend, at least. Especially with a phone or binoculars.
