A rare green comet known as Nishimura will pass Earth just once for the next 400 years, and you might be able to see it from your backyard.
Footage of a previous green comet that came close to Earth earlier in 2023.
Nishimura is expected to pass close to the Sun, even trailing within the orbit of the planet Mercury. It will get so close that the rare green comet may even see its nucleus break up due to the heat and radiation. If that happens, we could end up with multiple green comets scoring across the sky. Astronomers expect the comet to come within 78 million miles of Earth on Tuesday, September 12. Throughout the month, it will grow closer to different constellations, appearing close to the back of Leo on September 13 and then appearing close to Virgo on September 20.
If you want a chance to see this rare green comet, it’s suggested that you get up early in the morning, and it should appear in the sky between 4 and 6 a.m.. Astronomers report that the comet will get brighter as it moves slower to the Sun, and it is best seen using binoculars or a small telescope.
