What\u2019s NEOWISE?<\/h2>\n

Comets are icy bodies from deep in the Solar System that create a trail called a coma when they near the Sun. This is caused when the comet warms and gasses are released in what\u2019s called an outgassing phase.<\/p>\n

Comet C\/2020 F3 was discovered on March 27 through infrared images from the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer telescope, thus its common name NEOWISE.<\/p>\n

The NEOWISE project was founded by NASA\u2019s Planetary Science Division to measure and catalog asteroids and comets. Over 980,000 infrared measurements of 37,009 solar system objects have been made so far \u2014 and now the C\/2020 F3 comet is one of them.<\/p>\n
