A green comet discovered last March will make its closest approach to Earth this month.

The comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was first discovered by astronomers using the wide-field survey camera at California's Zwicky Transient Facility.

It was already inside the orbiter of Jupiter.

Thanks for this. I like comets, but probably won't see this one.

I saw Halley's comet in 1986 from a very dark Death Valley, very faint but it was huge, 1/3 of the sky as I recall. I used to listen to my grandmother tell of seeing Halley's comet in 1910. her family was moving by wagon to Louisiana and she often slept under the stars watching it.

I think we have too much light pollution for most of us to be able to see comets now adays.
