However, as October draws to a close, both are so close to the horizon an hour after sunset that they&#8217;re unlikely to be visible. So, instead, use the stars of the Summer Triangle to find the comet. Vega in the constellation Lyra should be easy enough to find above due west and, above it, Deneb in Cygnus.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>How To Find The Comet Using The Summer Triangle<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Look to the left of both, and you&#8217;ll see Altair in Aquila.
