This comet was discovered on March 27, 2020 through the WISE infrared space telescope, from July on it can be seen with the naked eye. Galina Topilskaya (Associate Professor, Department of General and Theoretical Physics, NCFU) explained that for two weeks the Neowise will be visible, whereas the best time to see it would be at three in the morning.

– You’ll have to go out at 3:00 a.m. and look to the northeast, low over the horizon line. Besides, you’ll need to find a place that opens a clear view with no buildings in the way. At this time, the Capella star will be clearly visible, and it is really bright. And then a little comet can be seen not far from it. YOU can easily tell it by the tail, which is to run straight up perpendicular the horizon, – Galina Topilskaya was quoted as saying.

Besides, she called the comet a rather interesting object, the period of which, based on approximate estimates, is from 4,500 to 6,800 years.
