October's supermoon will pair with a rare comet for a celestial spectacle on Thursday night.

Thursday's supermoon, named the Hunter's moon, is the third of four that are visible this year -- and the closest of the year.

The Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet gives stargazers a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity.

Thursday night will provide an optimal viewing experience with clear skies expected for the Omaha area.

Discovered last year, the comet is making its first documented flyby of our planet, according to NASA.

With its 80,000-year orbit, the celestial body would have been last seen from Earth at the time of the Neanderthals.
