Comet Lemmon Visible Near Big Dipper This Month

Swedish stargazers can spot Comet Lemmon near the Big Dipper constellation this month. The comet will be most visible around October 21 during the new moon phase. Eric Stempels, an astronomy researcher, said the comet is difficult to see with the naked eye. He explained that mobile phone cameras offer the best viewing method. 'Use your phone camera with a few seconds exposure to capture this fuzzy spot,' Stempels said in a statement. The Big Dipper, known as Karlavagnen in Swedish, is a well-known northern hemisphere constellation. Viewers should find locations far from city lights for optimal viewing. They should point cameras slightly beside the constellation rather than directly at it. Astronomy enthusiasts face practical challenges despite the theoretical visibility. Light pollution and weather conditions often complicate celestial observations in Nordic countries. The comet's faint appearance requires technological assistance for most observers.
