Comet lemmon which may be naked eye visible later this month [View all]


in january of this year the mount lemmon observatory discovered a new comet which has been named comet c/2025 a6(lemmon)
Right now the comet is not visible with the naked eye but is getting brighter every day. its above the horizon before sunrise but will be lost in the suns glow in the next few days,only to reappear and possibly be visible with the naked eye after sunset in the last half of october.
the green color is its natural color due to the gases its giving off as it nears the sun
