Closest a comet has been to earth that we know of in the last 100,000 years. And you can see it right after sunset but you'll need binoculars. You can barely see it right before it goes back down below the horizon with the naked eye but if you've got binos, look to the west. Look under the moon about half way down to the horizon about thirty minutes after sundown. Right above where the sky is still orange.

It's about the size of manhatten island but the tail is not that long yet since it's still this far out from the sun. Saw it tonight from anchor. Pretty cool.
