On a Saturday evening in November, residents of Bengaluru paused beneath one of the world's most light-polluted skies to witness Comet Lemmon — a traveler from the outer Solar System glowing an improbable emerald green above the western horizon.

Tourism (potential minor increase in stargazing activities)
Media and entertainment (content generation)
Astronomy and education (public interest in STEM)
No direct consumer impact on household spending or purchasing behavior. May marginally increase interest in astronomy-related products (binoculars, telescopes) and tourism to dark-sky locations, but effect is negligible at macroeconomic level.
Potential long-term policy discussion on light pollution reduction in urban areas, which could drive infrastructure investments in smart lighting and environmental regulations. Educational institutions may leverage public interest to promote STEM education initiatives.
