Kevin Milne: Comet 2023 A3 and thoughts of the past and future - Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

A rare celestial object has made an appearance in the skies over New Zealand. 

Comet C/2023 A3 hasn’t been seen in our skies in for 80,000 years, and with the length of its orbital period, it’s not going to be seen again by anyone alive today. 

Kevin Milne caught sight of A3 passing by on Wednesday, and it got him thinking about the last time it passed by, and the next time it’ll show up.
