Description

The NEOWISE comet, only 100 million km from us, is at this moment closer to the sun which therefore makes it much brighter and easily visible to the naked eye. We can admire it for a while at dawn (4:00 am) in a north-easterly direction and until a good month at sunset in a north-western direction. For the next step we will have to wait 6800 years.
