Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF): The comet now moves past the Red Planet Mars on the nights of Feb. 10, and Feb. 11, and a few nights later, the bright star Aldebaran on the night of Feb. 14; a Valentines Day treat for us Sky-Watchers! Comet ZTF is best viewed by binoculars and small telescopes.
ZTF’s coma is green in color due to the interaction of the solar wind against the atoms and gas of Diatomic Carbon, thus causing them to glow from the interaction of high-speed particles.
