There’s been a new comet in the sky over the past few weeks, but now is the prime time to see it for yourself.

Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon was discovered by astronomer David C. Fuls on Jan. 3 as part of the Mount Lemmon survey, which is a near-Earth object detection program.

It passed closest to Earth on Tuesday, when it was visible close to the horizon. However, the comet has now risen a bit higher in the sky, making now an opportune time to see it.

"Comet Lemmon is pretty much at its best visibility right now," Robert Massey, deputy executive director of the Royal Astronomical Society in London, said in a release.

And if you miss out now, you’ll never see it again: it won’t come back for another 1,300 years. WATCH | Finding Comet Lemmon from Halifax:
