(Worthy News) – A newly discovered comet is swinging through our cosmic neighborhood for the first time in more than 400 years.
Stargazers across the Northern Hemisphere should catch a glimpse as soon as possible — either this week or early next — because it will be another 400 years before the wandering ice ball returns.
The comet, which is kilometer-sized (0.5-mile), will sweep safely past Earth on Tuesday, passing within 78 million miles (125 million kilometers). It will be visible from Israel. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
