A new COMET is visible! ☄️

Discovered just last week, comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) is setting today *just* above Mars at the time of sunset. With a current magnitude of 7, the comet is not visible with the naked eye but should be visible with binoculars and definitely with a telescope. How cool to have this new snowball pop up just in the vicinity of the red planet like this. Comets are unpredictable roudy children and may increase or decrease in brightness at any time. They become brighter as they travel towards the Sun so we can hope to catch it with the naked eye soon!

On September 22, 2025, a Partial Solar Eclipse will occur and will be visible from the most eastern part of Australia!

From Sydney and the East Coast, the Partial Solar Eclipse will occur around 5:47 am AEST for about 6 minutes. In this case, the Moon only covers a teeny tiny part of the Sun (1%), so it will have almost no effect on the Sun’s brightness.

Nevertheless, if you are spotting the eclipse, you will notice that a small piece of the Sun has been bitten off!

Remember to never look at Sun directly, you will not see the eclipse and you could damage your eyes seriously. Instead, secure “eclipse glasses” or use a welding mask with a shade of 12 or higher.

On other occasions, when a Solar eclipse occurs, the Moon can cover up to 100% of the Sun’s disk and turn the world into darkness for a few minutes. It is called a Total Solar Eclipse.

Partial Solar Eclipse phase from Sydney:
Eclipse begins: 3:58 am AEST
Sunrise: 5:45 am AEST
Maximum begins: 5:47 am AEST
Eclipse ends: 5:50 am AEST
