Good morning, Rallypoint, and welcome to this Red Friday edition of Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for January 24, 2025.
Wow. This was the view of Comet G3 ATLAS last Saturday (January 19th) at the Paranal Observatory in the Atacama desert in Chilé. Enjoy.

We need to wait awhile for the pictures! With a final cost of $2.54 Billion, the telescope is under construction in Chile and anticipated to be completed in the early 2030s.
