If you are a fan of astronomy then you should know that it takes very little time to see one of the most impressive phenomena in space such as the passing of Comet C / 2020 F3, which is known as NEOWISE. This comet will pass so close to Earth that it will be possible to see it without the need for telescopes, as it is one of the brightest that has approached our planet in recent years.
NEOWISE was discovered in 2016, but it will not be for a few days when we will be able to see it in its maximum splendor, because despite the fact that in some regions of the northern hemisphere it is already possible to see it shortly before sunrise, the comet still needs to be approached more to us, and that will happen on July 23.
That day the comet will be no more and no less than 103 million kilometers from our planet, and despite the fact that it is a very long distance, it will be possible to see it with the naked eye, however, if you want to see it in great detail and at its maximum splendor you can follow the live broadcast on the Internet.
This comet comes from the Oort Cloud, which means that it contains material from the origin of our solar system, which makes the phenomenon more impressive and important.
How to see it on the Internet?
As we mentioned, NEOWISE is one of the brightest comets that have ever come close to Earth, and although thanks to its +6 magnitude glow it will be possible to see it with the naked eye, it is likely that certain weather conditions will not allow you to enjoy it as it should. , so the most recommended is to follow the event online.
The advantage of seeing it online is that the transmission will be made in high quality and with special equipment that will allow us to see much more than our own eyes will allow us if we go out to the patio or the street to see it.
To follow the event you just have to follow the live broadcast on YouTube that the Gian Masi channel will do under The Virtual Telescope Project, which will show the comet when it reaches its minimum distance from our planet.
The broadcast will begin on July 23 at 2:00 p.m. from Mexico City.
