"Doomed Comet C2023 A3 May Shatter Before 2024 Sky Show"
TL;DR Summary
Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) is showing signs of breaking up before its anticipated close pass to Earth this October, according to astronomer Zdenek Sekanina. Despite initial excitement about its visibility, the comet's lack of expected brightness and signs of advanced fragmentation suggest it will disintegrate into pieces too small to be seen from Earth.
