Best Answer

As of October 12, 2014 there are no comets visible to the naked eye from Earth. There are several visible to telescopes, and a couple that are visible in binoculars, if you know where to look.

A good website to go to if you want to know about currently visible comets is cometchasing.skyhound.com. The site is updated with names, approximate positions, and brightness; they even give some idea of what it will take (in terms of how large a telescope you need) to see it. Once you know the names of the comets that might be visible, you can check for further information on them so that you know exactly where to look on any given night.
