Kentuckians will get the chance to see a once in a lifetime comet on February 1 and 2. The newly discovered comet was first spotted in March of last year and will soon be close enough to see with the naked eye.
Mark Pitts is Senior Lecturer of Physics and Astronomy at Eastern Kentucky University. Instead of looking crisp like a star or planet in the night sky, Pitts said the comet will look similar to our own galaxy.
