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.

Right next to those flying cars Pop Mechanix promised us?
Someone should tell those PM writers it is helpful to know what constellation and the nearest stars or whatnot in order to spot something in the sky...
Are we sure it’s a green comet?

No indication as to what part of the sky?
Suddenly there was this bright green thing going through the sky. And I swear it had a sizzling sound, like a sparkler firework.
Turns out it was a meteor, landed in North Carolina, and I was in Georgia. Interesting.
Poor old guy
Comet - it makes your teeth turn green!;
Comet - it tastes like gasoline!;
Comet - it makes you vomit;
So buy some Comet, and vomit, today!
Now if that Green Comet had the 302 V-8 it could be kinda extra cool.
Now that was Funny
It wasn’t your imagination- they really do sizzle and if they are big enough, we can hear it.
ahh, 1970’s Puke Green.
I had a ‘71 Pontiac Ventura that was pretty close to that same color.
Up.
We had an old Ford Fairlane (?) that was about that color, which my mother had bought for the kids to drive, and then the first car I bought for myself (I think a ‘67 Nova??) was also that color, except for the spots that were rusted.
Kids at my high-school called it the Lima Bean Machine.
Unibody with a V8 307 in it. That thing could really motor. They made it in a 350. Had to wonder what THAT was like.
Bwahahahahaa!!
I've experienced that sound while watching a meteor shower. A particularly bright one seemed to make a sizzling sound that seemed non directional and instantaneous to the flaring. Made me wonder how that occurred since the sound obviously didn't originate at the meteor.
About a pond scum green...car.
