Green comet to light up Glasgow skies for the 'first time since the Stone Age' - how to see it

A green comet is set to be seen from our skies tonight (February 1), with it set to shine brightest during this week after being only visible last month thorough telescope.

Tonight is set to be one of the clearest nights - good news for stargazers hoping to catch a glimpse in the Glasgow skies.

The technical name for the 'Green Comet', according to the Mirror, is C/2022 E3 (ZTF), with the meteor set to reach the closest point to Earth today. Although it's currently around 28 million miles away, it will be seen in both northern and southern hemispheres. It was discovered just under a year ago on March 2, 2022 by Zwicky Transient Facility in California, US.
