Tonight I captured comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) making a dramatic appearance over the Golden Gate Bridge as seen from Treasure Island. Early on, it looked like the weather wouldn’t be in our favor, but luckily, the fog gave way just in time. @sfchronicle

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS), rises over windmills outside Collinsville, Calif. The comet reached perihelion on September 27th. Its visibility will diminish briefly due to its proximity to the sun, but improve mid October when it will set just after the sun to the west.

A from frames from yesterday’s annular eclipse. I made the trek to southern Utah to be near the centerline, and it paid off with a near perfect ring of fire. #ringoffire #annulareclipse #eclipse

Yosemite NP Road closure.
Big Oak Flat Road (continuation of Hwy 120 west into Yosemite) is closed from just inside the park boundary to Merced Grove. The road will be closed at least until mid-June and possibly into July. We are working with the Federal Highway Administration to start repairs ASAP. 1/4
