A rare comet will be visible in the skies of the Southern Hemisphere for the next two weeks before disappearing from view for approximately 170,000 years. According to astronomer Josh Aoraki of Auckland’s Te Whatu Stardome in New Zealand, the comet had been traveling through the Northern Hemisphere but is now visible in the south after orbiting the Sun.
Aoraki explained that the comet is bright but not visible to the naked eye, requiring binoculars, a telescope, or a camera to observe. He added that while it is not bright enough for unaided viewing, it is relatively easy to photograph. The comet’s brightness is expected to gradually fade over the coming two weeks.
Residents of New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and the Pacific region are advised to look toward the western horizon shortly after sunset, ensuring an unobstructed view. The best viewing time will be within the first hour after the Sun sets.
