TL;DR Summary

Comet Nishimura, also known as C/2023 P1, is currently passing close to the Sun but is unlikely to provide a spectacular sky display. While it is bright enough to be visible to the naked eye, its proximity to the Sun means it will be difficult to observe, especially in the evening sky. Astronomers are still excited about the comet and there is a chance it may brighten unexpectedly. If not, there is another comet, C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), that could potentially provide a spectacular show next year.
