Astronomy aficionados are buzzing about a bright new comet. The ball of dust and ice is formally named C/2023 P1, but is also called Comet Nishimura, for Hideo Nishimura, the Japanese photographer who first spotted it. How was the comet discovered? Mr. Nishimura captured the comet on Aug. 12 while imaging the sky before sunrise with a digital camera — the third comet he has discovered. That’s exactly how scientists discovered Comet NEOWISE in 2021, which was named for the NASA space telescope that detected it, the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer.

CNN —A newly discovered comet will be visible at times as it flies by Earth next week. Japanese space photographer Hideo Nishimura first observed Comet Nishimura in early August as he was taking images of the night sky, according to EarthSky. Comet Nishimura can bee seen as a faint green dot in the sky over L'Aquila, Italy, on September 7. “Unless it becomes quite a bit brighter than expected, it will likely not be visible.”What’s next for Comet NishimuraGiven how closely Comet Nishimura will pass by the sun, it’s possible the intense heat might destroy it. If you miss the chance to see Comet Nishimura, there are several comets expected to appear in the night sky in the next 16 months, Hale said.

Comet Nishimura could grace our skies with its eerie glow in early September. The comet may become visible to the naked eye in the coming weeks, NASA said. It may be one of the very few interstellar objects that have visited our solar system. "Will Comet Nishimura become visible to the unaided eye? If this hyperbolic orbit is confirmed, Comet Nishimura would join a very short list of interstellar objects that have visited the solar system.
