European War Has Its Comet
A new comet, first sighted eight months ago at an observatory in Delevan, brightens steadily and is predicted to remain visible to the naked eye during the current war in Europe. Initially 270 million miles from the sun, it has moved to about 220 million miles and is observable in the northeast sky at night or dawn. Scientists say telescopic viewing will continue for about six years, with its closest approach to Earth in October at roughly 147 million miles from the orbit of the moon.
