Stunning telescopic view of Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks above the western horizon near June Lake on March 30th. Its ion tail and greenish coma are clearly visible alongside the bright star Hamal (Alpha Arietis). The comet was also visible during the April 8th total solar eclipse, though only for those in the path of totality.

In addition, Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks will be seen nearby, below the Moon and a little to the right, a little further away than the distance of Jupiter. Binoculars or a telescope will probably be needed to see the comet.

自宅ベランダから長いイオンテイルが確認出来ました
今日明日は月の出も遅く、おひつじ座のハマル近くにいるので見つけやすいです
