"A" green comet will be visible around midnight, tonight, if you use a telescope, or binoculars and you look low on the northeastern horizon.
The "green" is the gas coma that forms around it, as it gets closer to the sun. It's more like a "haze" around its core, as the sun heats it up.
It will be closest to earth between Feb 1 and 2, and it could be spotted near the North Star, but it will be farther away from the sun, so its green coma will be less distinct. Its orbit indicated it will be back in February 52023.
