Look up! ☄️😲 The bright green Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) hasn't been near Earth for about 50,000 years and won't pass us again for another 48,000 years. Read more about the comet and how to see it 👉
Last month, NASA watched closely as an asteroid the size of a delivery truck whipped past our planet in one of the closest such encounters ever recorded.
Basically, it’s the combination of leftover bits and dregs from the edge of the solar system, such as frozen methane, carbon, nitrogen and water.As it slowly warms up, these frozen gases start to melt, which is what gives it a green tinge.The further north you live in Australia, the more time you will have to see the comet.
As for the time of day, Tucker said the best viewing hour is about 9pm AEDT, when the sun is gone but the moonlight is not yet at its peak.Whether you’ll be able to see the comet with the naked eye is still up for debate among astronomers.

We can’t forget ‘how tough’ Australians are still doing it after the flood events in 2022Commentator Steve Price says while we grieve for Turkey, we can’t forget how tough some fellow Australians are still doing it after an unprecedented year of flood events in 2022. 'I know for a fact there are still people in Lismore waiting to get power back on a year later,' Mr Price said.

Mr Price said the 'human tragedy' in Turkey, which was rocked by a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake, should serve as a reminder to the politicians who promised help after the year of floods but haven’t delivered.
