Over the next week ☄️ comet Nishimura will make its closest approach to Earth in over 430 years, passing within 78 million miles. The last time it visited us, telescopes hadn’t been invented yet. It’s your one chance to see it in multiple lifetimes. #scistr
Interesting 🔭
How/when do you observe it?
You will probably need binoculars, and it may be hard to view through light pollution. I probably won’t be able to see it. It will also be fairly low on the horizon in the northeastern sky.
Are used to know the president of the amateur astronomers Association of New York, and he always hosted stargazing in Central Park with large telescopes.
