See it on NASA's siteComet Lee, officially C/1999 H1 Lee, was discovered by Steve Lee in Australia. This large snowball is falling toward the Sun and is expected to brighten as it approaches the inner Solar System. Although not expected to be a naked-eye object, it will be visible to northern observers starting in May. The fuzzy patch in the image is Comet Lee.
