See ‘Shooting Stars’ And A Lingering Comet Pan-STARRS On Tuesday

Comet C/2025 R3 (Pan-STARRS) is briefly visible before dawn in the eastern sky as the Lyrid meteor shower approaches its peak.

It’s a rare, short-lived naked-eye comet opportunity, so early-morning viewing is key.

The article offers guidance for spotting the comet using the eastern horizon, the Great Square of Pegasus, Pisces, and Vega.

Binoculars may help, and the timing also makes it a good morning to watch the Lyrids.
