WATCH: This comet is blazing past Earth - and you can see it without a telescope Comet Lovejoy is putting on an amazing show for us, and it’s only going to get brighter in the coming weeks. On January 7th, the comet will make a once-in-a-lifetime pass of Earth at a distance of around 70 million kilometres (44 million miles), and is predicted to have a fourth magnitude brightness - a measurement used by astronomers that means it will be easily visible in dark skies without the need of a telescope.
