Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)discovered in March last year, will be visible to amateur astronomers in the sky at the end of January, perhaps even to the naked eye.

It was discovered by astronomers using the Zwicky Transient Facility Wide Angle Camera. Since then, the new long-period comet, which completes its orbit around the Sun in about 50,000 years, has brightened significantly and is now flying over the northern constellation Northern Corona in the predawn sky.

This December 19 telescopic image (top) shows the comet’s bright greenish coma, a short, wide dust tail, and a long, faint ion tail extending 2.5 degrees into the field of view.

On my journey inside solar systemcomet C/2022 E3 It will be at perihelion, its closest point to The sunJanuary 12 and at perigee, its closest point to our planet, February 1.
