Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon): A New View from Arizona

Congratulations to astrophotographer Larry Hubble for sharing this spectacular high-resolution image of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) taken near Sedona, Arizona. By the way, Hubble is Larry's birth name and what a great one it is! Please thank Larry in the comments for submitting his image to Friends of NASA for you all to enjoy!

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.

Arizona is a landlocked state in the Southwestern region of the United States, sharing the Four Corners region of the western United States with Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. It also borders Nevada to the northwest and California to the west, and shares an international border with the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California to the south and southwest.
