To kick off 2023, Earthlings could catch an extraordinary sight in the sky as a recently discovered comet travels past our world. The comet, dubbed C/2022 E3 (ZTF), was first sighted in March 2022, according to NASA. It likely traveled hundreds of billions of miles to reach the inner solar system.
C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will be closest to the sun on Jan. 12 and will pass Earth at a distance of 26.4 million miles on Feb. 2, NASA said. If the comet ever returns, it won't be at least for another 50,000 years, experts say. Here's what you need to know about viewing the once-in-a-lifetime event.
