Be sure to look up if you’re outside after dark this week!

We have a rare opportunity to see not one, but two comets, in addition to an ongoing meteor shower all on the same nights!

Here's the breakdown with info you need to know:

✅Comet C/2025 A6 LEMMON is naked eye visible. You should look on the western horizon about 30-60 minutes after sunset for best viewing. View it NOW through about October 24th.

✅The Orionids Meteor shower peaks on the evening of October 20th / morning of the 21st. You can see between 10-20 meteors per hour. There is no one set direction to look, but we recommend laying down and letting your eyes adjust to the night sky for 20 minutes to maximize viewing potential.

✅Comet C/2025 R2 SWAN is not naked eye visible. You will need a telescope or a pair of binoculars to see it. Look on the west-southwest horizon about 30-60 minutes after sunset for best viewing potential.

➡️Best night(s) to view all three will be October 19th, 20th, and 21st!
