Comet NEOWISE is visible to the naked eye now.
After the sun sets, look for the Big Dipper constellation in the northwestern sky, according to NASA. Just below it, you'll see the comet. It looks a bit like a fuzzy star with a tail.
The comet will continue to rise higher above the northwestern horizon for the rest of this month. It will come closest to Earth on July 22 -- just 64 million miles away.
Don’t blink, it won’t return for another 6000+ years.
