This month, a comet will light up the sky.

There are some good videos for you. It was created with a sketch.

The comet, formally named C/2021 A1, with its extended tail, is depicted in a colorized image, but also captures space phenomena, including a meteorite, seen streaking below the comet, the shorter trails of two satellites, airglow, and the Aurora.

The telescope is looking for near-Earth asteroids that could potentially be mined for resources. Origin Space says that the China's first commercial astronomy space mission is also available to non-commercial users.

The satellite has been in the sky since June of 2021. The mission captured a stunning Aurora australis above the southern Pacific Ocean in August of 2021.
Origin Space wants to capture a small asteroid in 25 years.
