It’s been crowned the “comet of the century” and is expected to shine bright enough to be seen with the naked eye! This dazzling comet is a swirling ball of frozen gases, rocks, and dust that swings close to the sun, completing its orbit every 80,000 years!

NASA recommends avoiding bright city lights when watching the skies as scattered light from urban areas creates light pollution that washes out the fainter stars and the Milky Way.
