How to see Comet NEOWISE from the UK tonight as it reaches peak brightness


The comet, called NEOWISE, will reach peak brightness tonight, and you don't want to miss it. Best of all, the comet will be visible all evening, so there's a strong chance you'll be able to see it. NASA explained: “Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was discovered in late March and brightened as it reached its closest approach to the Sun, inside the orbit of Mercury, late last week. “During the rest of July, Comet NEOWISE will head through Lynx and into Ursa Major, passing beneath the familiar asterism of seven bright stars known as the Big Dipper, or the Plough. Mr Sutherland added: “Binoculars will be very helpful in finding it, even if the comet is just visible in the brightening twilight.”
