Even better, you *should* be able to see it with the naked eye.
If you're lucky, you'll be able to see it with the naked eye.A newly-detected green comet is about to do a flyby near our Pale Blue Dot — and it may be visible to the naked eye.Jet Propulsion Laboratory declared
that between January 12 and February 2, a green comet named C/2022 E3 will first approach the Sun and then circle back around towards Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, the JPL post continues, skywatchers will be able to see the comet in the morning sky at the end of January. Observers in the Southern Hemisphere, meanwhile, should be able to see it in early February.even more precisely: during the new moon on January 21, when the sky will be extra-dark without the Moon's light.
"Comets are notoriously unpredictable," the JPL notes, "but if this one continues its current trend in brightness, it'll be easy to spot with binoculars, and it's just possible it could become visible to the unaided eye under dark skies."Discovered in March 2022, this rare green comet was spotted using a wide-field survey camera at CalTech's Zwicky Transient Facility within Jupiter's orbit.
