Washington: A recently discovered comet, C/2022 E3 (ZTF), is passing through our Solar System and is said to be visible to the naked eye. The comet was at its closest distance to the Sun on January 12 and will be closest to Earth on February 1. This means that earthlings have the best chance to see it today. Now the question is, how can this green comet be seen?
Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will be closest to Earth on 1 February 2023. During this, its distance from the Earth will be only 0.28 AU or about 41 km. According to the online astronomy guide, on February 1, the comet will be visible in the Indian sky for the whole night. Since it is circumpolar, it will remain above the horizon all night. According to Earth Sky, this comet is coming so close to the Earth for the first time in 50 thousand years.

It can reach its highest point on February 12 at 10:12 pm, when it will be present about 45 degrees above the northern horizon. Although you can see it with your naked eye, using a telescope or instrument will make viewing the comet much easier. It would be more convenient to watch this in a quiet and dark place away from the city lights as there would be no light pollution.
