Anyone as obsessed with Space? Dazzling comet NEOWISE spotted by NASA yesterday ☄️ .
The comet managed to survive the intense heat given it’s close distance from the sun.
A retrograde comet, NeoWise is expected to be visible to the naked eye up until August. “From mid-July on, it’s best viewed as an evening object, rising increasingly higher above the northwestern horizon,” said NASA .
It is the first time a comet will be passing Earth in 6,800 years; a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so get a good look while you can.
Comets are also known to be mercurial beasts;
NEOWise won’t stay as bright and visible as the days go by, especially given it’s already speeding away from the sun.
