Comet G3 ATLAS Setting over a Chilean Hill

Where is Comet ATLAS going? In the featured time-lapse video, the comet is not itself moving very much, but the Earth's rotation makes it appear to be setting over a hill. The Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) sequence was captured with an ordinary camera on January 22 from the Araucanía Region in central Chile.

So sad we couldn't see this in the northern hemisphere. Absolutely gorgeous photo.
