This week may be the last chance to snag a glimpse of a rare green comet as it zings past Mars in the night sky, potentially visible with no more than a pair of binoculars.
The comet, called C/2022 E3 , streaked past Earth last Wednesday, the closest it has come to our planet in 50,000 years.
Long-exposure photographs of the comet show a greenish glow around it, a short dust tail and then a long, thin ion tail stretching behind it as a line across the night sky—but through binoculars, it’s more likely to appear as a smudge in the sky next to the bright glow of Mars. The red planet will be visible to the naked eye in the night sky across all of Canada, provided there’s a clear sky that night.
