Scots hoping to see a green comet zip across the heavens have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to do so tonight.
Technically named Comet C/2023 E3 (ZTF), the green comet was first sighted in March last year by scientists at the Palmora Observatory in California as it began travelling from the far reaches of the solar system.
On February 1, it will reach its closest point to Earth as viewers can watch it travel through space over 28 million miles away. Luckily, stargazers could be treated to skies on Wednesday night before the comet disappears once more.
