Where can I see comets in 2023?

Try to avoid the outer suburbs with less influence of urban light pollution. Taking Beijing as an example, the Siling area of the Ming Tombs, the flower sea of Yanqing and the Great Wall of Dazhuangke are all ideal observation sites. This comet will appear in the northern part of the sky, near the North Star. A few hours before dawn is the best observation time, which is just at the highest point in the sky, and can even be observed with the naked eye in some particularly dark places.

According to the data, from June 5438 to June 20231October, comet C/2022E3 moved from the northern corona to Sirius, Draco and Ursa minor, with a very fast speed. In February, 2022 (12) and October, 2023 (10), astrophotography fans photographed this comet.

Comet refers to a celestial body orbiting the sun when it enters the solar system, and its brightness and shape will change with the distance from the sun. It has a unique appearance like a cloud, and it is also a jinx in China's myths and legends. Comets are divided into three parts: nucleus, coma and tail. The comet nucleus is composed of ice material, and when the comet approaches the star, the comet material sublimates.
