1. Better look - Next pass in 6,800 years

Stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere should enjoy every opportunity to see the new Comet NEOWISE as it streaks across the evening sky for the rest of July.
Once it disappears from view, the comet will not be visible in Earth's skies for another 6,800 years, according to NASA.
While July began with the comet visible low on the horizon in the early morning sky, NEOWISE has now transitioned to become an evening comet, perfectly visible as the skies darken.
It's named after NASA's Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, otherwise known as the NEOWISE mission, which discovered it in late March.

You may be able to see it with the naked eye, but grab a pair of binoculars or peer through a small telescope, if you have either, for a better view.
