Finally See Comet Lemmon On Sunday Before It’s Gone For 1,150 Years

If you’ve not seen the two green comets yet, 90 minutes after sunset on Sunday, Oct. 26, is your last best chance before they fade. The brighter Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) and much dimmer Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2) are now barreling away from Earth, reducing in brightness as they do, while a 24%-lit waxing crescent moon is on the cusp of making comet-observing significantly more difficult. With Lemmon in the northwestern sky and SWAN below the Summer Triangle stars in the south, near Saturn, it’s time to grab a pair of binoculars and take a look — or wait for 1,150 years.
