Massive 'Alien' Comet at Perihelion to the Sun, Green Comet (ZTF) Will Be Closest to Earth on Feb. 1
On Wednesday (Feb. 1) a comet that has not visited the Earth since the last ice age and the time of the Neanderthals will make its closest approach to our planet, or perigee.

Excitingly, the comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), which last passed through the inner solar system around 50,000 years ago, will be at its brightest during this time and may even be visible to the naked eye under the right conditions. The comet should be observable for days as it approaches our planet and then recedes on its way to the outer solar system.



COMET 96P AT PERIHELION: Today, Comet 96P/Machholz is at perihelion, its closest approach to the sun. Play this movie from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) to see the comet's rapid brightening as it gets blasted by solar heat:

Comet 96P is only 0.12 AU from the sun. For comparison, Mercury is more than 3 times farther away. That means the comet is *hot*. However, heat is not the only reason the comet has brightened so much. Because 96P is almost directly between Earth and the sun, its can experience a phenomenon called "forward scattering." Ice and dust in the comet's tail scatters sunlight toward the Earth, boosting its brightness to a current value near magnitude +0.

Don Machholz, a beloved member of the EarthSky team until his passing in 2022, discovered 12 comets that bear his name. One of those, Comet 96P/Machholz, reached its perihelion, or closest point to the sun, today (January 31, 2023).

As it neared the sun, fragments of the comet broke off. And some of us feared that – like many other comets near the sun – it might entirely disintegrate! But it didn’t. The most recent image (above) shows that it survived closest approach mostly intact.

While most comets that surge toward the sun usually have a width that does not exceed 10 meters, the Maccholz comet had a gigantic size that seemingly stopped it from completely evaporating.

Ever since it was first discovered, the SOHO has observed that the comet has made five different passes toward the sun.

Now, the comet's surge toward the sun may lead to more of its mysteries being uncovered. In fact, according to In The Sky, the iceball's closest approach to the sun will be this January 31. The comet will be close to the sun at a proximity that is three times that of Mercury's distance from the sun.

Astrophysicist Karl Battams from the Naval Research Lab in Washington, DC, notes how the comet is quite atypical when it comes to behavior and composition. With this, observations of this peculiar comet can hardly be predicted.



Malachi 4:

Judgment and Covenant Renewal

“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them.

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.

Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.
