Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon): View from Arizona
Astrophotographer Jeremy Perez: "C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from last night. It is a really good telescopic target right now! Lots more detail throughout the tail but especially close to the coma with streamers fanning out inside the dust tail. It was interesting to see the turquoise coma breezing off to the right a bit too. Not sure if I've picked up on something like that before & why it would have an even steeper angle than the dust tail. Or could be a bit of an illusion with the other side of the dust tail kind of hiding what may be on the other side . . ."
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.
