A thing that is coming closer to us after 69 years! If you are interested in the events happening in the sky, then the year 2024 is going to be special for you. According to reports, after revolving in our solar system for 69 years, a comet is going to be seen in the sky. It is claimed that if the weather is clear, you will be able to see this comet with the help of binoculars or a small telescope. The name of the comet is Comet 13P/Olbers. Right now it is in the Leo Minor constellation and is moving rapidly in space

According to Space.com, on July 20, this comet was at a distance of 176 million miles (283 million kilometers) from Earth. The report says that this comet cannot be seen with the naked eye. However, this comet can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere with the help of a telescope. The right time to see it is about two hours after sunset. It can be seen as a blurry ball 20 to 30 degrees above the sky.

According to EarthSky’s report, binoculars or telescope will be needed to see this comet clearly. According to the report, this comet is named after German astronomer Heinrich Olbers. He discovered it for the first time in the year 1815. The P in its name refers to comets whose orbit is less than 200 years.

This comet was last seen from Earth in 1956. After being seen this summer, it will be seen for the next time in 2094. While revolving around the Sun, this comet reaches the planet Neptune and also passes close to the Earth. Scientists say that there is no possibility of the comet colliding with the Earth.
