Explanation:
If you can see the stars of
the Big Dipper, you can find
comet NEOWISE in your evening sky tonight.
After sunset look for the naked-eye comet
below the bowl of the famous celestial kitchen utensil of the north
and above your northwestern horizon.
You're looking for a fuzzy 'star' with a tail, though probably not so
long a tail as in this
clear
sky snapshot taken from
Los Padres National Forest in California on the
evening of July 16.
Recent photographs of C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)
often show this comet's broad dust tail and fainter but separate
ion tail extending
farther than the eye can follow.
Skygazers around the world have been
delighted to find
NEOWISE,
surprise visitor from the outer Solar System.
