NEOWISE is a comet that was discovered on March 27, 2020, by the NEOWISE space telescope. Its full name is C/2020 F3, and it became visible to the naked eye in July 2020. The comet is named after the telescope that found it, which stands for Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. As it approached the Sun, NEOWISE developed a bright tail and a glowing coma, making it a spectacular sight in the night sky. It reached its closest point to the Sun on July 3, 2020, and passed Earth shortly after, providing a unique opportunity for skywatchers to observe this celestial event.
