Look Up! You Might Be Able to See a Green Comet Tonight

Viewing the Incredible Hulk with the naked eye may be a little tricky. Because the comet got so close to the sun and broke up from solar heat, it's rapidly fading from view. Also, thunderstorms and clouds in various parts of the country may impede vision of the comet.

However, experts don't rule out another eruption in the coming days, which could make the comet brighter in the night sky. Additionally, Paul Chodas, the manager for the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Live Science the comet may be visible later in August ― around August 15 or 16 ― after it rounds the sun and comes around again.

If you do want to try to view the comet, Tuesday night is your best best, but Wednesday night will work, too.

Wow, I’d forgotten how much those resembled the low-end sedan, the Maverick.
