A rare green comet is revisiting our solar system and may become visible to the naked eye within the next few weeks. The comet – formally identified as C/2022 E3 (ZTF) but commonly called the "green comet" – won't be as bright as other famous comets such as Halley's or Hale-Bopp. "The brightness of comets is notoriously unpredictable, but by (Feb. 1) C/2022 E3 (ZTF) could become only just visible to the eye in dark night skies," NASA said in its blog. There's no guarantee, but the best chance of seeing it with your own eyes is a clear dark sky before dawn without the light pollution of cities.
