Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon: View from Scotland

Astrophotographer Brian Jobson: "The comet 2 hrs after sunset here in Scotland. Developing a very active nucleus as it nears the Sun."

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.
