Comet C/2024 E1, known as Wierzchos, with a diameter of nearly 14 kilometers, is approaching its closest point to Earth. Astronomers are monitoring it to determine its trajectory and rule out any risks to the planet. The object, identified as C/2024 E1, was discovered in March 2024 by Polish astronomer Kacper Wierzchos. Since then, it has been monitored by NASA using the James Webb Space Telescope. Comet Wierzchos has a diameter of approximately…
A comet, C/2024 E1 or Wierzchoś, recently discovered, will now reach its closest point to the Earth and can be observed in the next few days before heading permanently out of the solar system. Making about the size of a city, this green comet moves on a hyperbolic orbit, like comet 3I/ATLAS, and will be ejected to interstellar space. Discovered in March 2024 by Polish astronomer Kacper Wierzchoś, the eponymous comet has been studied [...] This a…
Once in a lifetime! Scientists Track a Green Comet on a Permanent Escape Path
Once in a lifetime! Scientists Track a Green Comet on a Permanent Escape PathComet C/2024 E1 (Wierzchoś) is a rare green-glowing visitor from the Oort Cloud, now passing through the inner solar system. Scientists believe it may eventually be ejected into interstellar space, and JWST has already detected carbon dioxide in its coma. Credit to:Once in a lifetime!

Comet C/2024 E1 (Wierzchoś) will fly close to Earth on Tuesday, February 17. People from both the northern and southern hemispheres can observe the green-glowing body. In tens to hundreds of years, it will unusually fly outside the Solar System and become an interstellar object.
A green comet of the approximate size of a small city will approach Earth this week and has aroused the interest of the scientific community. It is comet C/2024 E1 Wierzchos, a visitor from the farthest regions of the Solar System that, although not dangerous, offers an unusual opportunity to observe an object similar to other recent interstellar comets.
