Comets visible from Toronto and surroundings

As of November 2013 we have four comets in the night sky that can be seen with simple telescopes and binoculars. One comet, named comet ISON is brightening rapidly and can be seen without optical aids (with the naked eye) from darker rural skies. Looking for more information on Comets? We put together this page about comets and our Sky this Month article has finder maps. Keep an eye out for our observing events if you would like to see the comets yourself.
