Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) above the Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ in the New Administrative Capital City in Egypt

The comet was discovered in January 2025 by the Mount Lemmon Survey, using a 60-inch telescope at Mount Lemmon in Arizona, USA. It comes from the Oort Cloud which is the outermost region of our solar system and extends from 2,000 AU to about 100,000 AU from the Sun.
Due to its long periodic orbit (about 1350 years), the comet is not expected to return back until around the year 3175.
