Comet C/2023 Lemmon H5
in the Evening sky
April 19, 2025

 
 This
            16th magnitude comet in Ursa Major is right now about the most
            interesting comet in the sky. It is very tiny but has a sigificant
            dust tail. Ive put a blow up in the corner so you can see the
            tail more clearly. This comet is on the way out so will fade
            slowly.
