Earth's night skies are being visited this month.
The sun and Earth will be closest to the comet in the next few weeks. Astronomers at the California Institute of Technology's Palomar Observatory found the comet in March of 2022. The comet has moved very close to the sun and Earth.
At 11:00 pm. The comet will be closest to the sun on January 12. Skywatchers might be able to see the comet with the naked eye if the weather is good. If you don't have the right equipment to see C/2022 E3 ZTF, you can watch a free live webcast on the Virtual Telescope Project's website.
Next week, a comet will make its closest approach to the earth.
The last time a comet approached Earth was 50,000 years ago, during the Upper Paleolithic era.
This could be the last time we see the comet because it hasn't visited in a while. It does not return to the same position at which it started. After it makes its closest approach to Earth, C/2022 E3 ZTF will go back out into deep space.
Astrophotographers around the world have been taking pictures of the comet as it passes through the solar system. The comet's coma has a green color in photographs due to its chemical composition. The green color indicates that there are two carbon atoms bonding together.
The comet should be seen throughout the month. The comet will make a close approach to the sun on February 2nd.
Skywatchers of all levels are able to watch the comet.
