Last time comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was visible, Neanderthals were still roaming planet Earth 🤯
A comet that only makes an appearance once every 50,000 years, is set to fly past the earth in the coming weeks Some 50,000 years later, it is set to appear above us in the night sky in the coming weeks and will be visible with the naked eye.
The comet – called E3 for short – was first spotted by the Zwicky Transient Facility on March 2 this year. Currently it is around 117 million miles away and will be at its closest point to the sun on January 12 and Earth on February 1. At its closest, it is expected to come within roughly 26 million miles of the earth. That’s equivalent to more than 109 times the average distance between the Earth and the moon.
Comet c/2022 E3 is brightening in the night sky as it approaches the sun. I captured it this morning from the Blue Ridge Mountains.
