The rare green comet C/2023 P1 (Nishimura) is currently passing by Earth, marking its first visit in over 400 years.
Due to the rare green comet’s proximity to the sun, the rare green comet will be difficult to see even though it is bright enough to be visible in dark skies.
The rare green comet Nishimura is not very large and is not particularly close to Earth. The best chance to see the rare green comet from Australia will be in the week of September 20 to 27, but the rare green comet will likely be lost in the sun’s glare.
If the rare green comet is not the show people hoped for, there is another comet called C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) that could potentially put on a spectacular show next year.

The rare green comet Nishimura was discovered month ago by Japanese astronomer Hideo Nishimura.
It is a rare opportunity to observe this rare green comet, as it only passes by the Sun every 437 years. The rare green planet will be easiest to observe this Saturday and Sunday, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, according to ScienceAlert.
It is best to look at the sky before sunrise in a northeastern direction to the left of Venus, in a clear and pollution-free sky to have a higher chance to witness the rare green comet.
Small binoculars might be used to enhance the observation, but the rare green comet may also be visible to the naked eye if conditions allow, ScienceAlert added.
