The James Webb Space Telescope gets its own micrometeoroid forecast — here's how
By
Meghan Bartels ,Space.com , February 02, 2023Even as the James Webb Space Telescope is allowing astronomers to see inside vast, distant galaxies, it's also studying some tiny, nearby objects — albeit inadvertently. These are micrometeoroids, tiny mysteries zipping through the solar system at lightning speed.

On Jan. 12, the comet — called C/2022 E3 (ZTF) — made its closest pass around the sun. Now, it's heading back out of the solar system and swinging by Earth, making its closest approach on Feb. 1. The best part is that it is a circumpolar comet and is seen high in the north, which means Canada is in an ideal place from which to spot it.
