Abstract

The comet passed the Little Dipper's handle before resuming its long, looping transit through the solar system, not to return to us for another 50 millennia. When the object now known as comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) last approached Earth 50,000 years ago, ice age mastodons and woolly mammoths roamed the planet. This time, stargazers were ready to spot it: on Feb. 1--2, the ghostly comet appeared again, visible as a bright green smudge in the northern hemisphere's skies. [Extracted from the article]
