Outer space visitor Comet NEOWISE was spotted for the first time by NASA in March 2020 with the help of its Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) telescope. Although to us NEOWISE is only four months old, this icy outer space comet is actually 4.6 billion years old. NASA has confirmed that Comet NEOWISE is older than Earth itself and as old as our Solar System. Alongside Comet NEOWISE NASA’s telescope had discovered two other comets, Comet ATLAS and Comet SWAN. However, only NEOWISE stood the test of time when it made its slingshot around our fiery star, the Sun and still maintained its trajectory, while the other two gradually fizzled out of existence.
