April Fools' Day comet to pass closest to Earth in a century
Comet 41P, playfully named the April Fools' Day comet, is set to make its closest approach to Earth in more than a century on Saturday, NASA has said. The comet was first seen in 1858 and reobserved in 1907, 1951, and 1973. Northern Hemisphere's comet hunters should look for it near the constellations Draco and Ursa Major, said NASA.
