Skywatchers will be able to see two comets decorate our skies from this month to next month, according to the National Space Agency.
In a statement, the agency said comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) was now closer to the Sun and the best time to see it is tomorrow before dawn.
The comet will be very close to the Sun on Nov 28.
Apart from this comet, there will be another one C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) a relatively bright comet which can now be seen in the sky in the morning.
Comet 'Lovejoy' was discovered by an Australian observer, Terry Lovejoy, on Sept 9 and is now moving towards the Sun and will reach on Dec 25.
It is at a good height to be observed at around 35 to 45 degrees from the northeastern horizon about an hour before sunrise until the end of this month.
