If you love looking at the night sky, you are in for a treat this week as a huge comet will be visible.
The comet, called Comet 168P/Hergenrother, will reach its highest point on Thursday.
And, you won't need fancy equipment to see it because it is likely to be visible to the naked eye, the Mirror reports.
Here is everything you need to know at the comet, including what it is and when you can see it.
What is Comet 168P/Hergenrother?
Comet 168P/Hergenrother was first discovered in 1998.
NASA explained: “Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dust that orbit the Sun.
“When frozen, they are the size of a small town. When a comet's orbit brings it close to the Sun, it heats up and spews dust and gases into a giant glowing head larger than most planets.
“The dust and gases form a tail that stretches away from the Sun for millions of miles.”
When will it be visible?
On Thursday night, comet 168P/Hergenrother is forecast to reach its brightest point.
On that night, the comet will lie at a distance of 1.37 AU from the Sun, and at a distance of 1.13 AU from the Earth.
For those of you in the UK, the comet will be most visible at around 21:15 BST, and will disappear at around 04:25 on Friday morning.
How to see the comet
For your best chance of seeing the comet, look just above the eastern horizon at around 21:15 BST.
The comet will look like a large bright star, with a tail of light trailing behind it.
