A huge comet will make its closest approach to Earth in July. Here's how to watch it live.

You can watch the comet's closest approach to Earth live on the internet.

The Hubble Space Telescope first spotted the comet K2 in the outer reaches of the solar system in 2017, and now it is making its way into view. At the time, K2 was the farthest active comet ever seen, but it was overtaken by a megacomet last year. The comet K2 will make its closest approach to our planet on July 14.

The comet's passage will be streamed live on the Virtual Telescope Project's website. On July 14th. The Virtual Telescope Project will give you access to watch on Space.com.

Comet views from Earth and space.

K2 has been moving towards Earth over the last five years. As comets approach the sun, the warmth of the sun causes the ice to turn into gas and form a cloud around them.

K2 was already active when it was first discovered between the planets, which is about 16 times away from the sun.

The comet had a big nucleus and a coma. According to the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope, K2's nucleus could be between 30 and 160 km wide, but data from the Hubble Space Telescope suggested it could be less.

Professional observatories can use the comet's upcoming close approach to measure the size of the nucleus.

We can focus on the beauty of the body. A fuzzy patch of light is the coma surrounding the comet.

The comet has been making its way towards the inner solar system and has been getting brighter as a result. According to EarthSky.org, the comet will be too dim for the eye to see during its closest approach on July 14. The closest approach to the sun will occur on December 19th and K2 will remain in telescope view throughout the summer.
