Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3)

 

C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) or Comet NEOWISE is a long period comet with a near-parabolic orbit discovered on March 27, 2020, by astronomers during the NEOWISE mission of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) space telescope. At that time, it was an 18th-magnitude object, located 2 AU (300 million km; 190 million mi) away from the Sun and 1.7 AU (250 million km; 160 million mi) away from Earth.

NEOWISE is known for being the brightest comet in the northern hemisphere since Comet Hale–Bopp in 1997. It was widely photographed by professional and amateur observers and was even spotted by people living near city centers and areas with light pollution. While it was too close to the Sun to be observed at perihelion, it emerged from perihelion around magnitude 0.5 to 1, making it bright enough to be visible to the naked eye. 

 

This Cometa C/2020 F3 Neowise was imaged by Spain astrophotographer José Jiménez on July 13th.

Great comets visible to the naked eye are rare. After nearly 20 years of waiting, a huge comet called the Neowise Comet has captured the attention of the world as it glints into the sky in July, reaching a brightness visible to the naked eye. Grab the chance to see The Comet. We have to wait another 6,800 years if we miss it.
