We have a comet that is disintegrating, it is comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS or c/2023 A3, it is a comet that is about 5 kilometers in diameter, initially it was thought that it could endure its passage near the sun and that it would even be visible to the naked eye, so bright as Venus, which would have been a nice sight, but the situation is becoming catastrophic for the Comet.

The linear comet broke into pieces in August 2000 and did not approach the sun as planned, however, this one that is in the news now would have its closest approach to the sun on September 27 at 58 million km, which is more than minus the distance at which Mercury orbits the sun and a little more than two weeks later, on October 12, the Comet would have its closest approach to Earth, 71 million kilometers, but as I mentioned, it seems that it will not survive.
