A Rare Celestial Spectacle is seen in the Sky when a green comet graced the atmosphere of Earth. This will certainly be a night to remember. Earth is set to have a close encounter with a rare green comet, which will be traveling within about 26 million miles of our planet.
This is something super incredible for Celestial Spectacle enthusiasts around the world who are always enthusiastic about such rare celestial events.
It would not be wrong to say that these are once-in-a-lifetime moments.
The best time to observe the green comet is just before dawn when the sky is dark and the comet is visible above the horizon. Nonetheless, clear skies and a dark location away from city lights are necessary to have a good viewing experience. When the sky would be dark, there are chances of the visibility of this precious moment.
The Rare Celestial Spectacle is a great opportunity for people to see a green comet up close. Comets are usually seen as faint, hazy objects in the night sky, but this one is expected to be brighter and more visible.
According to the statistical analysis of Rare Celestial Spectacle,
“A rare green comet makes its close approach to Earth while traveling at a speed of 128,000 miles per hour and coming as close as 26 million miles to the planet. The last time it passed through our solar system was over 50,000 years ago. Its brightness may not be enough to be seen with the naked eye, therefore, a good pair of binoculars or a small telescope would be necessary for a clear view. A green comet is known as C/2022 E3 (ZTF). This is bluish in color and made up of electrically charged gas molecules. The green glow of C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is due to the sun’s effects on diatomic carbon in the comet’s head.”
The distinct color of the green comet is due to the presence of a chemical known as diatomic carbon. This chemical interacts with solar radiation that bombards the head of the comet when it travels through space.
If we further talk about the structure of comets. the images revealed its two tails,
- A short, broad dust tail
- A long, bluish ion tail
The research work of astronomers with large telescopes will assist in the characteristics of the chemical composition of comets and map their path through the solar system. A great number of observatories will be able to detect it and will be accumulating information.
Space-related event has an entire universe in them, hence, it is not accurate to say that with a single glimpse, we can get to have a great of information.
Outer space is full of amazing events and phenomena. The studies are always keen to get the most incredible sights. In the same pattern, this close encounter with the green comet is a reminder of the wonders of our universe and the beauty of our solar system.
This world is so magical and hopefully, we would get the chance to witness the wonders of the universe.
