Comet watchers have enjoying the newly-discovered NEOWISE comet since it was first spotted in March 2020. … WISE was an infrared survey mission, but in 2013 it was re-christened as NEOWISE, which stands for Near Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. NEOWISE was given a new job: detecting asteroids and comets.
