You'll have a chance to catch the comet Nishimura in the sky sometime in September, but scientists aren't sure if you'll need a telescope.
The comet was first spotted hiding within the sun’s glare, and astronomers say that it will continue to grow brighter as it grows closer to the sun. However, this closeness to the sun could also make the comet much harder to see, especially without additional equipment.says that the comet Nishimura will most likely be visible on September 12. However, the path that the comet is on is still not guaranteed, as astronomers are still watching and observing the new discovery.
As noted above, though, some of the details of this path may change as we observe the comet for longer. While some believed the comet could be an interstellar guest when it was first noticed, others now say that it is a “local” comet, meaning it is from within our solar system. They also believe that it orbits the sun every 202 years, which means this is humanity’s last chance for a close look until 2225.
