This stunning photo of Comet Lemmon was taken on Friday and there’s still time for you to see it before it disappears for 1,300 years!

PEDRAFORCA, SPAIN - OCTOBER 24: The comet C/2019 U6 (Lemmon), discovered on October 31, 2019, from the Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona, streaks across the night sky behind Pedraforca mountain in the Bergueda region in Spain on October 24, 2025. The comet, composed mainly of ice and dust, was named after the observatory where it was first detected, part of the Catalina Sky Survey program dedicated to tracking near-Earth objects. Pedraforca, located within the Cadi-Moixero Natural Park, is one of Spain's most iconic mountains, recognized for its distinctive double peak and symbolic importance to Catalan mountaineering.

Stargazers and astrophotographers were out in force last week to witness Comet Lemmon (C/2019 U6) scythe across the night sky. The incredible image (above) was captured on October 24 from Spain’s Berguedà region, with the comet nestled perfectly within a dip in the Pedraforca Mountain.

If you haven’t managed to witness this hurtling ball of ice, dust, and gases, it’s already reached its closest proximity to Earth and is now heading away, but there’s still time to see it. Space.com recently quoted the Comet Observation Database (COBS), which estimated the comet’s magnitude of +4.3, which should make it visible to the naked eye from a Dark Sky location. However, the best binoculars will provide a more impressive sight. If you want to view it at its very best, though, you’ll need to turn to one of the best telescopes.
