TL;DR Summary

Comet Nishimura, discovered by amateur astronomer Hideo Nishimura, will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere for a few more days before moving closer to the sun. To spot the comet, look to the east-southeast in the pre-dawn hours and locate the Leo constellation. An unobstructed view of the horizon is necessary, as the comet will be just eight degrees above it. The comet will make its closest approach to the sun on September 18, and if it survives, it may be visible in the Southern Hemisphere.
