Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for October 9, 2025. Stargazers in Bellingham are in for a treat this month as two comets, C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) and C/2025 R2 (SWAN), are visible in the night sky. These comets have traveled from the distant Oort Cloud, offering a rare double feature for local astronomy enthusiasts.
