An astronomer in Italy caught a fortuitous image of the bright comet Lemmon seemingly entwined with the glowing trail of a "shooting star."

But if you're out and about this final week of October, you can still spot these green gaseous globes and their streaming tails.You'll be able to see Lemmon without any equipment, but SWAN will be pretty faint,

Comet Lemmon is moving quickly west of the Big Dipper, near bright Arcturus, while Comet SWAN lies beneath the three stars that form the Summer Triangle. About 90 minutes after sunset is when to look for both.

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) will pass through the neck of the great celestial serpent represented by the constellation Serpens Caput on the nights of Oct. 26-27.

Lemmon, which is a rare green comet, can be seen with the naked eye on Oct. 21, according to the Royal Astronomical Society, with peak visibility near Halloween. SWAN may be visible using binoculars or a telescope, according to Starwalk, a real-time astronomical app for stargazing.

The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has gathered significant scientific attention, and soon it will reach its closest point to the sun.

While NASA classifies the object as a harmless comet, per Economic Times, Loeb described the matter similar to a “blind date,” where he detailed: “You often assume that the dating partner would be very friendly, but you have to worry about serial killers, as well.”

Harvard Professor Avi Loeb discusses the mystery surrounding the 31/ATLAS comet and explains his argument that it has a 40% chance of being alien technology.

They also noted that iron was not detected alongside the nickel, an uncommon pattern in comets. Rahatgaonkar and Seligman suggested that the nickel may be locked in molecules that break apart easily under sunlight, releasing the metal at low temperatures.
