But it's pretty tough. If you're in northern New Zealand, it does appear briefly in the middle of the night ... but it's probably too low in the sky to see. From southern New Zealand, it doesn't get above the horizon. Elsewhere in the southern hemisphere, you MIGHT be able to see the comet ... but whether you can or not will depend on how close you are to the equator. The closer the better. This comet is in the northern sky ... Best to all, Deborah Nicholas, I checked, thinking Comet Holmes might make a tiny arc above your northern horizon. But it’s pretty tough. If you’re in northern New Zealand, it does appear briefly in the middle of the night … but it’s probably too low in the sky to see. From southern New Zealand, it doesn’t get above the horizon.

Elsewhere in the southern hemisphere, you MIGHT be able to see the comet … but whether you can or not will depend on how close you are to the equator. The closer the better.

This comet is in the northern sky …

Best to all,
Deborah
