Earth’s night skies are receiving a surprise visitor this month.

Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF will be making its closest approaches to both Earth and the sun in the coming weeks. The comet was first discovered in March 2022 by astronomers at the Zwicky Transient Facility, part of the California Institute of Technology’s Palomar Observatory, when it was 399 million miles (643 million kilometers) from the sun, just inside the orbit of Jupiter. Since then, comet C/2022 E3 ZTF has moved much closer to the sun and Earth.
