Green comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) coming close to Earth after 50000 years Date and time how to watch

The next few days are going to be very special for people interested in the events taking place in the sky. About 50 thousand years ago a green comet passed near the Earth. It is returning once again. This comet named C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was discovered last year. According to the information, this comet will come closest to the Earth on February 1. It is also being said that it can be seen with the naked eye, but if you have a binocular or a small telescope, then you can spot this comet in a better way.

NASA According to, the period of comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is about 50 thousand years. This means that the last time this comet came as close as 42 million kilometers to the Earth, our planet was in the Upper Paleolithic period.

Scientists also say that this comet can be seen with the naked eye only when there is very little pollution in your area and the sky and weather are clear. York University has also planned to view this comet. This Canadian university has a huge telescope installed, through which the comet will be seen.

It is being told that this comet will pass near our planet between February 1 and February 2. According to reports, if this comet continues to shine the way it is shining now, it can be seen in the night sky with the naked eye without a telescope. No predictions can be made regarding comets because their brightness may also decrease.

Initially scientists thought it was an asteroid. Then it was inside the orbit of Jupiter. Soon it started shining like comets. C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was discovered by scientists only last year. Even the humans of the Paleolithic period might not have even known about it.
