Spot the Spectacular Once-in-a-Lifetime Green Comet Nishimura
TL;DR Summary
Comet Nishimura, discovered by amateur astronomer Hideo Nishimura, is currently passing Earth and will be visible to stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere for the next couple of days. To spot it, look at the northeastern horizon before dawn, between the constellations Cancer and Leo, and close to Venus. The comet will become brighter as it gets closer to the Sun and will be at its closest point on September 17. If it survives, it will be visible in the Southern Hemisphere by the end of the month.
