Comet NEOWISE over Lebanon
Explanation: A comet has suddenly become visible to the unaided eye.
Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was discovered in late March and
brightened as it reached its closest approach to the Sun, inside the orbit of Mercury, late last week. The
interplanetary iceberg survived solar heating, so far, and is now becoming closer to the Earth as it starts its long trek back to the outer
Solar System. As
Comet NEOWISE became one of the few naked-eye comets of the 21st Century,
word spread quickly, and the
comet has already been photographed behind many famous sites and cities
around the globe.
Featured, Comet NEOWISE was captured over Lebanon two days ago just before sunrise. The
future brightness of Comet NEOWISE remains somewhat uncertain but the comet will likely continue to be
findable not only in the early morning sky, but also next week in the early evening sky.
