This is probably of more interest to photographers than anybody, but there
will be a rare opportunity to see two naked-eye comets within 30 degrees of
each other next month. In mid-April, Comet Ikeya-Zhang should be hanging
in there around magnitude 4 and Comet Utsunomiya will have hopefully
brightened to magnitude 6. From Arizona, the latter is less than 10
degrees above the eastern horizon at astronomical twilight. I have posted
a four-panel figure at:
