BRIGHT COMET SWAN: A new comet is heading for the sun. Discovered just a few days ago, Comet SWAN (C/2020 F8) is bright, green, and an easy target for backyard telescopes. The comet seems to be experiencing an outburst, releasing "massive quantities" of hydrogen-rich material. It could become visible to the naked eye next month if it does not fall apart first.
