MIDALE - Star gazers in southeast Saskatchewan were treated to another magnificent sight on Sunday evening. 

The Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) was observed passing by on a clear night. 

Billed by some as the "Comet of the Century", it was expected to come as close as 71 million kilometres to the Earth. It has been visible to people in the Northern Hemisphere for a few days.
