comet

A newly discovered comet is swinging through our cosmic neighborhood for the first time in more than 400 years.

A comet is streaking back our way after 50,000 years. It will come within 26 million miles (42 million kilometers) of Earth Wednesday before speeding away again, unlikely to return for millions of years.

According to the Nepal Astronomical Society, a meteor shower can be seen in the Nepali sky on the night of April 22.
