Coming up shortly on @itvanglia (East), we’re going comet crazy! 💫 I’m at the @NorwichAS where they’re hoping to get a glimpse of a comet that hasn’t been visible from Earth in 50,000 years. They’ll also explain how this massive telescope works!

The #GreenComet (Comet 2022 E3) will make its closest pass to Earth tonight since the Ice age (50,000 years ago). Look for a white smudge in the sky, towards the northwest horizon during the early hours. Give yourself 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust stellarium-web.org/skysource…
