Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon at Closest Distance to Earth: View from Austria
Astrophotographer Michael Jaeger: "The comet is now entering the inner region of the sun where its ion tail is highly active."
Comet Lemmon is brightening and moving into morning northern skies. Besides Comet SWAN25B and Comet ATLAS, Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is now the third comet currently visible with binoculars and on long camera exposures. Comet Lemmon was discovered early this year and is still headed into the inner Solar System. The comet will round the Sun on November 8, 2025. It passed nearest to the Earth—about half of the Earth-Sun distance—on October 21.
