This year has been quite terrible in terms of everything, be
it travel, economy, jobs or health.
Its already summer, but we are not excited about our next travel plan or our
favorite activities that we used to do.
But there is one thing that has returned after 6800 years to
surprise us, yes I am talking about Comet NEOWISE.
For the week of July 13 – 18, be sure to look for the first comet of 2020 that is visible to the naked eye: Comet NEOWISE. It’s visible in both the morning (before dusk) and evening (after dawn) hours.
Experts are saying that the best time is to see 1-2 hours before sunrise and 1-2 hours after sunset.

It will come closest to the earth on July 22, 2020.
