Visible in the US?

You have to be pretty far north to see it. The photo from Slovakia is from about the same latitude as Maine. The comet is approaching the northern horizon even that far north. Then it will be in the sky during daytime where you can't see it except if you are in the total solar eclipse.

But the NASA page says

As spring approaches for northern skygazers, Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is growing brighter. Currently visible with small telescopes and binoculars, the Halley-type comet could reach naked eye visibility in the coming weeks.
