El Neowise comet is very close to Earth and although it has already been observed in the first days of July, it will be from this Wednesday 15th that it will be appreciated in a better way. The comet of official name C / 2020 F3, It is the third to be discovered in 2020.
This phenomenon will be something never seen before in the last seven years, since Neowise will be the brightest comet of this time. Even the Caribbean Astronomical Society (SAC) said: “Many of these comets we see them only once in our lives, and in the case of the Neowise, after this approach in July, the next time it will approach Earth it will be around the year 8,766 “.
He C / 2020 F3 was discovered at the end of last March, In early July it lit up when it reached its closest point to the Sun, within the orbit of Mercury. “The interplanetary iceberg survived solar warming, for now, and is currently approaching Earth as it begins its long journey back to the outer Solar System “, NASA said.
The best opportunity to see the Neowise kite is next July 23, day in which it will reach its closest proximity to Earth (103 million km).
“Note that each subsequent night appears higher and higher, going up the left side of where you can see the ‘container’ of the Big Cacerola, “said the SAC.
