Comet Lulin , photograph here about 100 million miles away , will be passing within 38 million mile of Earth from February 23rd to mid - March , which ostensibly lay it within binocular range .
Some warm facts about Comet Lulin : it was discovered in July 2007 , and is frequently visible to the naked eye ( though seeing it through opera glasses during the said windowpane will give you a much clearer look ) . It ’ll appear about 2 degrees south - sou'-west of Saturn before it go away out into the non-white abysm in mid - March . The above pic shows the comet ’s tail off and to the right , and the fade red and blue-blooded light comes from the hug drug - ray and ultraviolet telescope , severally . [ wire ]
