Best Comet of 2025?
C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) has already become very faintly visible to the naked eye for observers in the Southern Hemisphere.
Many Orthodox churches base their Easter date on the Julian calendar, which often differs from the Gregorian calendar that is used by many western countries. Therefore the Orthodox Easter period often occurs later than the Easter period that falls around the time of the March equinox.
