Weirdly it’s going to this old vid lol [ link to mashable.com (secure)] C/2017 K2 (PanSTARRS), sometimes called the K2 "megacomet," came closest to Earth on Thursday, July 14, at a distance of about 168 million miles, about 1.8 times the distance between Earth and the sun. Stargazers with telescopes have been tracking it for a while and watching its tail grow as it got closer, and now Earth is waving goodbye to the comet as it leaves. But if you’re reading this and it’s still summer, the now-receding comet is currently moving in a direction that will take it closer to the sun, and there’s a good chance you can still get a look at it if you own, or can borrow, a telescope.
