"Comet Nishimura: A Rare Green Spectacle in the Night Sky"

Comet Nishimura, discovered by Japanese astronomer Hideo Nishimura, is currently passing close to the sun and could potentially be visible to the naked eye. However, its path will keep it close to the sun in the sky as observed from Earth, making it difficult to see. There is a small window to see the comet from Australia in the week of September 20 to 27, but it will likely be lost in the sun's glare. If the comet brightens unexpectedly or fragments, it could become easier to spot. Another comet, Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, discovered earlier this year, is expected to put on a spectacular show next year.
