"Green Comet Nishimura's Spectacular Survival: A Second Chance to Witness Its Beauty?"

Green comet Nishimura, also known as C/2023 P1, has survived its close encounter with the sun and is now heading back into the outer reaches of the solar system. It won't return for around 430 years, but it may still be visible over the next few weeks, depending on your location. The comet's trajectory brings it into the inner solar system every 430 years before slingshotting around the sun and returning to the Oort Cloud. Although it has become dimmer and can only be seen near the horizon shortly before sunrise or after sunset, those in Australia have a slightly better chance of spotting it. Additionally, Nishimura could potentially be the source of the annual Sigma-Hydrids meteor shower in December, making this year's shower more active and visually stunning.
