OK, so beginning with that content from Burnus, he's pointing out that we've got two comets and a meteor shower to talk about. So at the same time, it's pretty cool. So in a rare cosmic coincidence, two bright comets are expected to pass close to Earth in late October, right as the Orionid meteor shower peaks and just as the new moon creates the darkest skies of the month. The two comets are C 2025 R2, titled Swan, and C 2025 Alpha 6, titled Lemon. Both were discovered this year and each could reach magnitude 4 brightness. Sounds pretty exciting. Just within the naked eye visibility under dark skies. And we're moving into dark, as we just mentioned.
