NEOWISE came through space nearly 200 million kilometres away from the Earth. According to NASA, the comet is about 5 km wide and its nucleus is covered with sooty dark particles leftover from its formation near the birth of our solar system around 4.6 billion years ago. This comet will be visible from Earth next time only in the year 8,786 which is over 6,000 years later.
