A green comet discovered last March will make its closest approach to Earth this month.
The comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was first discovered by astronomers using the wide-field survey camera at California's Zwicky Transient Facility.
It was already inside the orbiter of Jupiter.
Since then, it has brightened substantially and is sweeping across the northern constellation Corona Borealis in predawn skies, according to NASA.
