ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 A cosmic visitor is racing through our inner solar system and for a short time, you can catch a glimpse.<\/p>\n
To see Comet (C\/2025 R3), also known as Panstarrs after the discovering observatory, you\u2019ll likely need help from a pair of binoculars or a telescope.<\/p>\n
Through the middle of April, Panstarrs will be visible low in the Florida sky. <\/p>\n
To see the comet, look in the eastern sky about 90 minutes prior to sunrise.<\/p>\n
Sunrise in Central Florida is just before 7 a.m.<\/p>\n
Comet Panstarrs<\/p>\n
The comet will be situated in the middle of the iconic Great Square of Pegasus, providing an area to focus on.<\/p>\n
As of Thursday, the comet is on the brink of being visible to the naked eye with no light pollution.<\/p>\n
Still, binoculars or a telescope will likely be needed to view Panstarrs.<\/p>\n
The comet will reach its closest point to Earth on April 19.<\/p>\n
Shortly after, it will be impossible to see from the Northern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n
Nikunj Patel captured PanStarrs from Flagler Beach using Nikon Z6ii + 85mm with a single 1-minute exposure.<\/p>\n
The comet won\u2019t be back in our portion of the solar system for another 170,000 years.<\/p>\n
