A newly discovered comet, dubbed "Lemmon," is gearing up for a close flyby of Earth later this month and could even become visible to the naked eye, some researchers claim. However, Lemmon may end up looking more like a different citrus fruit, thanks to its lime-green glow.
Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is a nonperiodic comet, which means it has a variable orbital period that spans over a millennium and is hard to predict. Observations hint that the comet currently orbits the sun every 1,350 years and spends a majority of this time lurking within the Oort Cloud — the giant shell of comets and other icy objects at the very edge of the solar system.
