Comet Neowise, discovered in late March, is appearing brighter as it approaches the sun, according to AccuWeather. Researchers say this is the first time the comet will be passing Earth in 6,800 years.
At the moment, it is brighter than Halley's Comet was in 1986.

It will be closest to Earth on July 22 at a distance of about 64 million miles.
