Two comets will be visible in different parts of the night sky on Friday, Oct. 17, 2025, one of them close to a bright star and the other passing close to one of the night sky’s most iconic sights. The brightest of the two, Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6), will shine close to Cor Caroli near the Big Dipper, while Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2) will on Friday, Oct. 17, 2025, appear next to the iconic “Pillars of Creation” in the Eagle Nebula (M16). Both comets are predicted to become even brighter next week during the peak of the Orionid meteor shower on Oct. 20-21.
