(McAlester-AP) -- A science teacher at McAlester High School says there's a new comet visible in the sky over Oklahoma.

Phillip Scott says Comet Bradfield is best seen around daybreak, between 5:30 and 6 AM, in the eastern sky. He says the comet is best seen with binoculars.

The comet is named for William Bradfield of South Australia, who discovered it in March while looking through a ten-inch telescope.
