Look up to the skies over the next month and you may catch a glimpse of a comet not seen flying past

Earth since 1956.

Comet 13P/Olbers was first identified in 1815 will come as close as 1.9 astronomical units – or 176 million miles – away from Earth’s orbit.

It will come closest to us on July 20th but should be visible as soon as this Sunday with binoculars.
