The brightest comet of the year, C/2022 E3 (ZTF), will pass its closest distance to Earth
The brightest comet 2023 C / 2022 E3 (ZTF) will fly 42 million kilometers from Earth and be visible in the sky over Russia on February 1. The telegram channel “AstroAlert | reports it Observational Astronomy”.
“With these parameters, the comet can be observed even with the naked eye in the darkest places,” in the message. Note that the length of its gas tail will be the size of the Big Dipper’s “scoop”. It will fly between the constellation Ursa Major and the North Star.
The comet will be visible to the naked eye, but astronomers note that with special equipment, the impressions will be brighter. Earlier, using the world’s largest telescope VISTA, astronomers photographed a nebula in the constellation Serpens.
