Comet Swan25F (No official name yet)
in the Morning sky in Pegasus
4/7/25

 
 Now
            8th magnitude and approaching perihelion, this newly discovered
            comet is very low in the north eastern sky inside the square
            of Pegasus in the half hour before morning twilight. The tail
            is a gas type appearing as a ray emanating from a small cyan
            colored coma. When this comet re appears in the evening in a
            few weeks, it may be 4th magnitude, but will still be very low
            in the west in Taurus.
