New comet SWAN25F is turning heads — and telescopes — toward the morning sky

Two people looking at morning sky, one is looking through binoculars and the other a large telescope.

The newly discovered comet is already putting on a show for amateur astronomers with telescopes at the ready.

Comet SWAN25F, first spotted in data from the SWAN instrument aboard the sun-watching SOHO spacecraft, is now bright enough for amateur astronomers to track and photograph with backyard gear.
