There are 3 comets currently gracing the evening sky, one visible in the morning sky.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is too faint and will remain so.

C/2025 R1 (SWAN) is putting on a show at this time; C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) should get much brighter after Perihelion.

Objects at Mag 6.5 and below can be seen with the naked eye, 9.5 and below using binoculars, under dark and clear skies.
