Comet Ikeya-Zhang, discovered less than six weeks ago, is climbing into view in the early evening sky. It is passing by the Great Square of Pegasus, which is low in the west-northwest in early evening. This chart shows the comet's shifting position for the next week. It will grow a bit brighter during this period.
