Here’s everything you need to know about the once-in-a-lifetime ‘Green Comet’ that is set to peak over our skies on February 1.

A once-in-a-lifetime comet is set to peak and be most visible in the UK next week, once again dazzling the sky over Leeds with astonishing events. Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), also known as the ‘Green Comet,’ was last visible 50,000 years ago and will make its closest approach to Earth on Wednesday, February 1.

The comet, which made its closest approach to the Sun on January 12, is already visible in the night sky using a telescope or binoculars, according to Royal Museums Greenwich. However, as the comet becomes brighter and closer, it may become visible to the naked eye against dark skies.
