Where and when to look

Best time: About 90 minutes after sunset on October 22 and 23.

Comet Lemmon: Look to the northwest. It will be visible near the bright star Arcturus in the constellation Boötes.

Comet SWAN: Look to the southwest. It will be visible in the constellation Aquila, near the Summer Triangle asterism.

Viewing tips

Find a dark location: The comets will be significantly more visible away from city lights.
Use binoculars: While Comet Lemmon may be visible to the naked eye under perfect conditions, binoculars will greatly improve your view of both comets.

Allow your eyes to adjust: Give your eyes at least 15-20 minutes to adapt to the darkness before looking for the comets.

Consider a stargazing app: Using an app like Stellarium or SkySafari can help you locate the exact position of the comets in your sky.

Check the weather: Cloud cover will obstruct your view, so be sure to check the forecast for clear skies.

When is Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon visible?
Comet Lemmon can be viewed tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025, and is expected to brighten even more near Halloween 2025 and through early November, per Starwalk.

To spot Lemmon, first find out when the sunset is at your location. Then, head out about 90 minutes after with a pair of binoculars or a telescope, and look toward the northwest. Comet Lemmon is found above the star Arcturus in Boötes, an orange-red object located beneath the arc of the Big Dipper in the southwest sky.

The next time Comet Lemmon will make its closest approach is in about 1,300 years, so don’t wait!

When is Comet C/2025 R2 Swan visible?

Comet SWAN, or C/2025 R2 Swan, is also visible in the evening sky tonight, Oct. 22, but is on a completely different trajectory passing Earth to the southwest. SWAN is slightly dimmer, although recent observations put it on a brightness magnitude of 5.6, meaning it may be visible to the naked eye as very faint object in the dark night sky.

SWAN is best positioned for observers in the Southern Hemisphere, so it might be trickier to spot than Lemmon. On Oct. 16, SWAN was positioned about 5 degrees to the upper left of the star Xi Serpentis, in the eastern section of the constellation Serpens.

To spot it, look in the hours following sunset, before it sinks low on the south-southwest horizon. Use a stargazing app, like Stellarium, to find the comet. Unfortunately, any sort of light pollution will significantly degrade its visibility, so urban skywatchers should seek out complete darkness.

Where to look, how to see the comets?

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is technically visible to the naked eye in very dark skies, away from city lights, but you’ll need binoculars or a small telescope to see Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN). Lemmon’s magnitude 4.5 is about the same brightness as March’s Beehive Cluster (M44) and a bit dimmer than the Andromeda galaxy (M31)

Unlike stars and planets, comets often have diffuse comas and long, faint tails that can span a significant portion of the sky. For that reason, using lower magnification on your equipment works best. Helpful charts and maps can be found at The Sky Live, In-The-Sky.org and Stellarium.

What time is sunset near me?

To find the sunset near you, you can input your ZIP code on The Old Farmer’s Almanac or check out your nearest city or town on sites like SunriseSunset.io or Sunrise-Sunset.org.
