It is expected to be a great comet in 2013 autumn when the comet approaches to the sun down to only 0.01 A.U. It keeps visible with naked eyes from November to January, and can be extremely bright as Venus or more at the highlight. However, the brightening has declined at 15.5 mag from January through May in 2013. Now it is not observable. The condition is excellent in the Northern Hemisphere. It will appear in the morning sky again in late August, then it keeps observable almost all through the period of brightening, at the highlight, and of fading. The condition is not good in the Southern Hemisphere. It is not observable at all the latter part of the highlight, and it keeps low all through the period.
