A comet that hasn't visited Earth or the inner solar system since the last ice age will be closest to the sun on Thursday.
The comet will come close to the sun. The comet will make its closest approach to Earth on Feb. 2 at a distance of 42 million kilometers.
The comet will not be visible to the naked eye, but it can be seen with binoculars. It could be possible to see it in the night sky if C/2022 E3 continues to improve. The Virtual Telescope Project will be broadcasting a live stream of the comet starting at 11:00 pm. On Jan. 12 and Jan. 13 there are times when the sun rises and the sun sets. You can watch the live broadcast on the project's website or on its website's channel.
Next week, a comet will make its closest approach to the earth.
The period of this comet is 50,000 years, according to NASA. The last time our planet was so close to the Earth, it was in the middle of the last ice age.
The sky will be visible in the morning from New York City C/2022 E3 at perihelion. The elevation is 64 over the eastern horizon. The comet will be seen from a distance as the sun sets. The time is 1107GMT.
The constellation Camelopardalis will be able to see C/2022 E3 when it is at its closest to Earth in February.
Initially, the comet was thought to be an asteroid, but it was later identified as a comet. As C/2022 E3 moved from the inside of Jupiter to the outside, it showed that it was a cometary.
Even if C/2022 E3 isn't visible with the naked eye, it will be visible with binoculars and small telescopes in January and February.
C/2022 E3 should be visible in the morning sky in the Northern Hemisphere as it moves to the northwest. Skywatchers in the Southern Hemisphere will be able to see the comet.
When the moon is completely unilluminated in the new moon phase, the skies should be dark enough to see C/2022 E3.
