From Space.com:
"Earlier this year, the NEOWISE space telescope discovered its latest comet, a distant and inconspicuous object. ...
But in July, Comet NEOWISE has raised hopes that it will become a tantalizing object for skywatchers after two previous comets (ATLAS and SWAN) fizzled out earlier this year."

Looking great so far! Here's hoping for more of an excellent show!
