All through July, Indians and the rest of the hemisphere of the globe will be able to spot the comet, comet C/2020 F3, also referred to as NEOWISE, within the sky.

Discovered earlier this year, the comet is currently nearly 200 million kilometers from Earth and is bright enough to be seen within the clear dawn sky. However, after around 12-15 July, up until sometime in August, it'll be visible in the dark .

Though the comet is bright enough to be seen with the eye , in places without clear skies, a pair of basic binoculars are going to be necessary.

NEOWISE after being discovered by NASA’s Near-Earth Asteroid Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer telescope on March 27 this year.

The comet made its closest approach to the sun on July 3, 2020, passing at about 43 million km from the sun, which is closer than the typical distance between the sun and Mercury. it's now moving faraway from the sun’s glare, making it more visible from Earth.

According to a statement by NASA on its website - “Through about the middle month of July, the comet is will be around 10 degrees above the northeastern horizon (the width of your outstretched fist) within the hour before dawn."

All things considered, you've got three weeks to observe the NEO-WISE comet. Thus, get a few of excellent optics and either rise up at dawn this week or at be out after sunset when it gets dark in the sky.

Do not miss this rare chance as “The comet takes about 6,800 years to create one lap around it's long, stretched orbit, so it won’t visit the inner solar system again for several thousands of years,”says NASA.
