Description
Comet **C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS)** is lighting up the skies over **New Zealand in May 2026** — and this is a **once-in-170,000-years event**! ☄️
Discovered in **September 2025** by the Pan-STARRS survey, this comet comes from the distant **Oort Cloud**, the outer edge of our solar system.
It reached its closest point to the Sun on **April 19, 2026**, and passed closest to Earth around **April 27**, making it brightest around that time.
👉 In **New Zealand**, the comet is best seen:
* Just **after sunset** 🌇
* Low on the **western horizon**
* Within about **1 hour after sundown**
⏰ Example (Wellington):
* Rises ~15:45
* Highest ~19:46
* Sets ~23:48
🔭 Visibility:
* Not easily visible to the naked eye
* Best with **binoculars, telescope, or camera**
* Appears as a **blue-green glowing coma with a faint tail**
⚠️ Important:
The comet is **fading quickly**, so you only have a **short viewing window (early May 2026)** before it disappears again — possibly forever or for another **170,000 years**.
This is truly a **rare cosmic visitor** you don’t want to miss 🌌
