David DickinsonHello. We have a new comet that could reach naked eye visibility over the next few weeks: C/2023 P1 Nishimura, discovered by Hideo Nishimura observing from Kakegawa, Japan on August 11th. Currently at +9th magnitude (with a bullet) in the constellation Gemini, the comet is well-placed in the pre-dawn sky. The comet is expected to brighten to +2 magnitude in early September, when it passes 0.29 AU from the Earth on September 13th, and reaches perihelion 0.22 AU from the Sun on September 18th.
