You do need to be away from city lights, though.There is "about 13 million Olympic swimming pools of water," in Comet NEOWISE, Emily Kramer, a science team co-investigator forNASA's NEOWISE at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said during a news conference July 15. The small black structure near the lower left of the image is caused by a grain of dust resting on the imager’s lens. Skywatchers across the world have captured some breathtaking pictures of the comet in the past week. You will receive a verification email shortly.There was a problem.

Dann kann man den kleinen Himmelskörper am allerbesten mit bloßem Auge beobachten. Because it is especially bright, the comet is visible in the night sky with the naked eye.

However, … (Image credit: Jeffrey Morgenthaler/Carl Schmidt/Planetary Science Institute)An unprocessed image from the WISPR instrument on NASA’s Parker Solar Probe shows Comet NEOWISE on July 5, 2020, shortly after its closest approach to the sun. That trip around the sun is over for Comet NEOWISE's current orbit and it's moving back to the outer solar system. Skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere can spot the object just after sunset, to the northwest just under the In fact, the comet is so bright that scientists are "able to get a lot more and better data than we typically do for most comets," Kramer said. New York, Published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company. Joe Masiero, deputy principal investigator of the NEOWISE mission, said the the comet is moving about twice as fast as the Earth's speed around the sun. "It's rare to see something that's this bright," she added.
It crosses the plane of Earth orbit well inside of recovery orbit and almost near the orbit of Mercury, so there's absolutely no hazard from this comet," Lindley Johnson, the planetary defense officer and program executive of NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office at NASA Headquarters, said during the news conference. "We're able to study it with a wide variety of different telescopes, and that'll allow us to do really interesting studies."No!

Researchers studying Comet NEOWISE might actually also have a Comet NEOWISE is about 3 miles (5 kilometers) in diameter, "which is a reasonably large but roughly average-size comet," Kramer said.

The sun is out of frame to the left. "It's quite rare for a comet to be bright enough that we can see it with a naked eye or even with just binoculars. NASA.gov brings you the latest images, videos and news from America's space agency. Because Comet NEOWISE is an especially bright object, it is relatively easy for astronomy enthusiasts to spot it in the night sky with just the naked eye, although binoculars or a small telescope will give you a "The fact that we can see it is really what makes it unique," Kramer said.
