NEOWISE: the COMET continues to AMAZE everyone, NOW YOU SEE WITH A NAKED EYE. Here’s WHEN and WHERE TO OBSERVE IT [VIDEO]
Kepler he used to say that there are more comets in the sky than fish in the sea and he was probably right.
After the disappointing Atlas e Swan which promised wonders, but which shattered near the Sun, another comet has passed, it must be said, brilliantly, this phase: the nucleus has withstood the proximity of the Sun and in fact has brightened even more. Now it is illuminating all the skies of Italy !!
We are talking about Neowise, a beautiful comet discovered last March 27 by the Neowise telescope, from which it takes its name.
The kite, after having passed the close encounter with the Sun unscathed, is now approaching Earth e between 22 and 23 July will touch the point closest to it (the perigeo).
Neowise shows a beautiful coda formed by powders yellowish in color in that reflects the sunlight. Currently the magnitude is only 1.6, (the lower the value, the more luminous a celestial body) and therefore it is shining like a star of first magnitude.
That’s why it is visible both to the naked eye and through a rudimentary binoculars.
Thanks to this exceptional brightness Neowise turns out to be the brightest comet of the last 13 years making thousands of fans amazed!
in attached videos you can see the spectacle of the comet rising in the sky, taken in Austria and from the International Space Station.
WHERE TO SEARCH THE COMET? – Currently it will be observable in the evening, low on the northwest horizon, between 21 and 24.
Between 14 and 15 July the comet will become circumpolar for Northern Italy, or it can be admired all night long. From this date Neowise will be visible from the start from 21.
Around 25 of the month will be found finally just below the famous Ursa Major constellation, the Great Dipper.
Happy viewing everyone!
