Stargazers lucky enough to have clear skies this week could get a glimpse of comet Pan-STARRS, as it makes a close approach to earth and the sun.

Comet Pan-STARRS, named for the telescope used to spot it in 2011, is passing within 100 miles of earth Tuesday. By the weekend it will make its closest approach to the sun.
