This March, the NEOWISE telescope, tracking the bodies approaching Earth, discovered a new object in the sky, which it initially thought was an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter.
But it later turned out to be a new comet visiting the earth's sky from the remote comet cloud "Oort Cloud" or comets located on the outskirts of the solar system, which is 100 thousand astronomical units from the sun (the astronomical unit is the distance between the Earth and the sun, equal to 150 million km).
Sudden brightness
However, the approaching the comet little by little was not a strange thing, the strange was its sudden brightness that it began to be seen with the naked eye in less than two weeks only from the start of its appearance with regular telescopes.
There is another comet in the sky that the hadith and eyes are heading towards in the same side of the sky is the comet Atlas (ATLAS), the comet who did not meet the aspirations of amateur astronomers because of its relative dimness.
"New-Wise" appeared and Atlas disappeared, and on top of that, it became visible to the naked eye, which is more than dreams of astronomers eagerly awaiting such a phenomenon.
Comets are a distinct phenomenon known to the ancients as "a star or a sin" and they have always described it as their prose and poetry, and the most famous in history has been the most famous comet "Halley" in which Abu Tammam once said: And they
feared people from dark wits if the western planet seemed guilty
After dawn
And here is the planet with the guilt appear again, but it is east this time. You just have to go out at dawn with the light of daylight split and look east to see a spot of vertically standing obscurity as if it is pouncing on the sun.
It is the new comet, if your sky is clear mountain or desert far from the humidity of the seas, then you will be lucky with this new visitor.
And do not worry, the comet is very far from the earth and does not pose a danger to it, so the closest distance it will reach from the sun will be about 27 million km, which is very far from us, so that it will not leave meteors entering the atmosphere in the form of meteor showers after that.
