Ancient green comet to visit Earth after 50000 years; Know date and time to watch it LIVE

[ad_1] The famous green comet, which will be visiting Earth after a period of 50,000 years, is just a few days away from its closest approach. Do not miss this rare moment. Find out the date and time to watch it. For a few weeks now, we have been hearing about an ancient green comet which will soon make an appearance in the night sky of the Earth. But this is no ordinary comet. This comet, known as Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF, will be visiting our planet after a period of 50,000 years! This means the last time the Earth saw this comet, human civilisation did not exist. And recent reports are suggesting that it might also be the last time we see it as the icy comet might get destroyed from the heat of the inner solar system. So, do not miss out on a chance to watch this unique comet flying acr...

Wow! Rare green comet suffers solar storm ATTACK! Tail destroyed, check stunning photo

[ad_1] The green comet, C/2022 E3 (ZTF), which is visiting the Earth after 50000 years has been hit by a massive solar storm and this has destroyed a part of its tail. As the Earth waits for February 1, when an extremely rare comet, which was last seen 50000 years ago, will be visible across the night sky, it has undergone a vicious solar storm attack. Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is a long-period comet that originated in the Oort cloud. It recently reached its perihelion on January 12 and now it is on its way to make the closest approach to the Earth. However, the comet met an unfortunate fate as it collided with a coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud. The solar storm attack has resulted in a part of its tail being destroyed.The stunning image was taken by comet hunter Michael Jager on January...

Rare Green Comet ZTF seen in Abu Dhabi sky: How to watch it live and what it is

[ad_1] A rare green comet called C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was snapped in Abu Dhabi a couple of days ago. Know what this comet is and how you can see it live. An extremely rare comet was visible during dawn in the sky above Abu Dhabi on January 14. Comets are of interest to scientists because they are remnants of the early Solar System, and can tell us about the conditions and composition of the early Solar System. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the ice in the comet to turn into a gas, which surrounds the nucleus of the comet in a bright coma. The gas and dust in the coma form a bright tail that always points away from the Sun.When these comets pass by Earth, they are seen as glowing balls in the sky with a faintly lit tail. Although comets periodically pass by Earth, the expe...

India’s Chandra Telescope captures Comet ZTF last seen by Neanderthals

[ad_1] India’s highest telescope has captured a stunning image of the Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) which was last seen around 50000 years ago. India's Himalayan Chandra Telescope has added a feather in its cap by capturing a stunning image of the Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) which is expected to come close to Earth next month. Comets are of interest to scientists because they are remnants of the early Solar System, and can tell us about the conditions and composition of the early Solar System. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the ices in the comet to turn into a gas, which surrounds the nucleus of the comet in a bright coma. The gas and dust in the coma form a bright tail that always points away from the Sun.Although comets often make close flybys, the Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is parti...

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 9 January 2023: Comet E3 ZTF, seen by Neanderthals, shot

[ad_1] NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day is a stunning image of a comet which is set to pass Earth closely next month. Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dust roughly the size of a small town. A comet also orbits the Sun, but unlike an asteroid, it's mostly composed of ice and dust. When a comet gets close to the Sun, its ice and dust content start to vaporize. So, when seen in a telescope, a comet appears fuzzy and has a tail. So, if you're an avid comet watcher, there is exciting news for you. A comet which was last seen by Neanderthals is all set to pass Earth this year.NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day is a stunning image of the comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) which is a long-period comet that originated in the Oort cloud, captured by Jose Francisco Hernández, an astr...
