  1. Potential bright #comet #c2023A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) just *might* light up our skies in mid-October 2024 if it survives a close spin around our star. Like the #GreenComet, we do try to lower expectations, but we're always excited to see a new comet!

  2. The green comet, C/2022 E3 (ZTF). Did you manage to see it?!

    I did, was a smudge in my telescope.🤩

    This comet hasn't been seen in over 50,000 years and came within 27 million miles of us. Then it continued its journey out past Mars on its way to explore the universe again.🥰

  4. Went hunting for the #GreenComet last night. Won’t be back for 50K years (if then), so best look now!

  5. Well it's nothing to write home about, but here's C2022 E3 ZTF in frame with Mars. I cropped the image so that Mars is centered in the right third and the comet is centered in the left third. Yeah, that.

  6. Why does the universe exist? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice answer fan questions about black holes, wormholes, the expansion of the universe and more! What are our options to solve the crisis in cosmology?

    Can we answer the question: wh…

  7. We've seen hundreds of pictures of a #GreenComet over the last few weeks - how about a #GreenLake for #ThrowbackThursday?
    This is Green Lakes State Park in #UpstateNY near #Syracuse from 2014.
    It's one of the few #meromictic lakes in the US (one in which the water layers do not mix), because of the relative depth (195 feet) compared to area, and mineral inflows which give the lake it's green color and make the water very clear (and contribute to the reef seen in this image).

  12. Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF viewed from Belfast, N Ireland, last night. 8 Feb. (300mm lens, 50 x 1.6sec exposures stacked)

  13. I got a *slightly better* shot of the green comet on Monday night (my last night in St Maarten), shooting as soon as the sky got dark & before the just-past-full moon came up. (3 seconds @ ISO 1600.) I call this one "Unambiguous Splotch of Pixels." ;) (Still couldn't see it with binoculars; d'oh!) #comet #cometZTF #greencomet

  14. Since last week was canceled, this cartoon comes a day early. And about #comets to fit current news.
    CW: full on kawaii eye contact in full view.

  16. It doesn’t look like much, and it won’t go in my astrophotography showcase, but hey! It’s a photo of everyone’s favorite #GreenComet from in urban backyard with lots of light pollution. Going back out tomorrow to a much darker location and my camera will be happier and warmer. Very easy to spot with binoculars!

  17. Does anyone on the east coast know where to look for the #GreenComet in the night sky? I'm in #newjersey and have a lot of light pollution so I may not be able to find it without my scope

  18. Finally got a view of #comet C/2022E3 (ZTF)! Only had a few minutes before the clouds rolled in (again).
    Still much processing to do though.
    This is 27 x 3 second exposures with a Nikon Z50 with a 300mm lens on a tripod (no star tracker).
    I *really* need a better setup for #astrophotography.

  19. This is my best photo of Comet C/2022 E3. This green comet passed Earth for the first time in 50,000 years. It was last visible in the night sky during the Stone Age. 48,000 b.c.e.

    But we have had gray skies forever (of course right?).

    Nikon D750, 510mm 80ED OTA on tracking mount. If you want more details, just ask.

  20. I Took a Picture of the GREEN COMET Not Seen in 50,000 Years! #GreenComet

    This guy does a great job explaining the Green Comet that just flew past the earth on Feb 1st, 2023 🔭

  21. Okay I got carried away and made a diagram about it, so for folks who like pictures, here's where to look for #c2022e3ztf:

  22. What is the green comet? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice talk about the Oort Cloud comet passing by Earth for the first time since The Stone Age.
