While the comet was visible this evening, the best viewing conditions are expected early next week.
There’s a chance the comet may be visible to the naked eye, but it’s recommended to have a pair of binoculars and a camera with long exposure settings on hand for the best experience.
“We should look for it above the western horizon after sunset, when the sky is still not fully dark. It will be low, around ten or fifteen degrees above the horizon, slightly shifted towards the south,” explained Jerzy Rafalski from the Planetarium in Toruń.
For the best chance to spot the comet, head away from city lights to a dark, remote area with minimal light pollution. The comet is expected to remain visible until the end of next week, offering stargazers more opportunities to catch a glimpse of this rare spectacle.
