Fades away10:00 PMBelow ideal altitude
Comet C/2025 F2 (SWAN) sits about 22° up in the northwest as darkness falls, glowing at magnitude 8.9 — beyond naked-eye reach but an easy binocular object: a soft, fuzzy patch of light with a short, stubby tail pointing away from the sun.
Field notes
- 01Binoculars are required; a telescope at low power is even better.
- 02Use averted vision — look slightly beside the comet to catch its glow.
- 03It fades a little each week as it recedes; see it while it’s here.
