How to see Comet NEOWISE
How to see Comet NEOWISE
Posted by Eddie Irizarry in SPACE | July 21, 2020
Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) is magnificent now, through binoculars, in the northwest each evening. It’s coming into view for observers at latitudes like those in the southern U.S., and even farther south. Charts and more info here.
Location of Comet NEOWISE from July 20 to 26. Face northwest, just after sunset. Avoid trees or buildings to have a clear view of the northwest horizon. Sweep with your binoculars around the location for the comet marked on this chart. Some might barely see the comet with the unaided eye. So far, evening views have been available mostly to observers at latitudes like those in the northern U.S. We are beginning to receive photos and reports of comet sightings from observers in the southern U.S., and even lower latitudes. Observers at lower latitudes will see Comet NEOWISE lower in the sky. This comet is not visible from the Southern Hemisphere. Illustration by Eddie Irizarry using Stellarium.
