How to see Comet NEOWISE [View all]

How to see Comet NEOWISE ☄️

Location of Comet NEOWISE from July 20 to 26. Face northwest at dusk, avoiding trees or buildings, to have a clear view of the northwest horizon. Try to find the Big Dipper first. Then sweep with your binoculars for the comet, below the Dipper. Observers at lower latitudes (like those in the southern U.S.) will see Comet NEOWISE lower in the sky, while it will appear higher for observers farther north (northern U.S. or Canada). This comet is not visible from the Southern Hemisphere. Read more: https://bit.ly/3iyqQNm 👓
