People from around the UK have been taking pictures of the “comet of the century”, which was spotted streaking across the sky on Saturday night.
Comet A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) was last month seen from Earth for the first time since the Neanderthals were alive, some 80,000 years ago.
On Saturday, a number of British stargazers said they had spotted the object, after the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) predicted it might be visible to the naked eye.
Most images show the comet as a bright streak of light, similar to a torch, on the horizon.
