I was finally able to capture our newest comet, C/2023 P1 Nishimura, around 5:30 a.m. today just before the sunrise washed out the tail. What a spectacular sight to see this rare green beauty show up on my camera screen!” Thank you, Alan. See more photos of Comet Nishimura from the EarthSky community below.
Thanks for the Comet Nishimura photos!
A new comet – Nishimura – has been lurking in the morning sky before dawn. And our EarthSky community has been ready with cameras to capture it as it visits the inner solar system. Enjoy their incredible photos here. And if you have a photo of Nishimura to share, send it to us!

This image was captured in the brightening predawn.
