Comet 2011L4
Supposedly this is visible in the southern hemisphere now and will shortly be visible in the northern hemisphere soon. I am having trouble finding much information on it, but some pictures are starting to show up on Flickr:

Since it is a new comet, apparently it can be great, or fizzle, according to the following:

Based on the picture on Flickr, maybe better than expected?
Below is NASA's forecast for visability:

Apparently, there is another comet coming this fall. Some are forecasting comet Ison to be as bright as a full moon in daylight. It will be here Aug-13 through Jan-14.

Just in case anyone is interested.
