Description:
Comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS) is now moving closer to the Sun's glare as observed from Earth, observable lower to the horizon and in brighter twilight skies in the morning before it is lost in the brightening morning twilight. Clouds and the bright twilight on the morning of April 20 did not help in observing the comets tail. The comet was magnitude 4.6, it will be nearest Earth on April 26, 45 million miles from Earth.
