Comet NEOWISE

Discovered in March, Comet NEOWISE is one of the only bright spots of 2020. It’s named so due to the fact it was discovered by astronomers on the NEOWISE space telescope, a near-Earth telescope launched back in 2009. While not as bright as other comets (such as the famous Hale-Bopp) this comet is still visible to the naked eye.

This comet is twin-tailed, the first being a magenta one made of gas and ions, with the second being golden in color, made up of dust, similar to Hale-Bopp.
