While the Oort Cloud comet is unlikely to be visible in daylight, Cooke suggests watching for it at twilight, when the sky is dark but not yet fully black.

A Celestial Event to Remember

As the comet speeds away from Earth, it will disappear from view by mid-November, heading back into the distant regions of the solar system for the next 80 millennia. 

For those lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this rare comet, it’s a sight not to be missed.
