Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is approaching Earth  — will it become visible to the naked eye?

A bright green light faintly glows in the center of a dark starry night sky.

In the coming weeks, skywatchers will have an opportunity to view a new comet that is currently inbound on its way toward the sun. This new visitor to the inner solar system is expected to brighten, perhaps becoming a fairly easy object to see in small telescopes or good binoculars.

And there's hope that it may even become bright enough to glimpse with the naked eye under dark non-light polluted skies (for those who have access to such viewing sites).
