An infrequent visitor of our night sky has arrived and can be seen particularly in the Northern Hemisphere. Officially known as Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), the "Green Comet" was likely last seen on Earth approximately 50,000 years ago! The sparkly spectacle gets its hue from carbon in its gas cloud surrounding the nucleus. The comet can be generally spotted in the constellation CAMELOPARDALIS the Giraffe, a rather dimly lit circumpolar constellation situated in the northern sky near the "North Star," Polaris. If Camelopardalis is in your night sky, then the comet likely is, too. The comet should remain in Northern Hemisphere skies toward the northern direction until early or mid February. Visit the Weather Channel (↗), National Geographic (↗), PBS NewsHour (↗), etc. for more info.

According to NASA and Caltech’s Exoplanet Archive website (↗), there are over 5,000 confirmed exoplanets as of January 2023 and now 5,587 as of February 2024!
Famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson also mentioned this fun fact on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on September 22nd, 2022. Situated far away from our solar system planets, these exoplanets surround stars found in constellations including but definitely not limited to Andromeda, Aquarius, Aquila, Ara, Aries, Auriga, Boötes, Cancer, Canes Venatici, Canis Major, Cetus, Chamaeleon, Coma Berenices, Corona Borealis, Cygnus, Delphinus, Draco, Eridanus, Grus, Hercules, Hydrus, Indus, Leo, Lepus, Lupus, Lynx, Microscopium, Pegasus, Pictor, Pisces, Piscis Austrinus, Scorpius, Sextans, Taurus, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and Virgo.
This Amazing Astronomy post continues the process of providing a comprehensive and convenient list of New General Catalogue (NGC) objects. Each galaxy below does not have any additional info other than its constellation location. NGC numbers without info are not currently assigned to cosmic objects or may be a duplicate object of another NGC number.

As the “author” and updater of the Amazing Astronomy Blog, I am astounded by the amount of advances related to astronomy and space exploration. The world of science is progressing with such a plethora of discoveries and breakthrough innovations that it is hard to keep up with everything going on — and that’s definitely a good thing!
One major news story that I had to mention: NASA revealed the first publically released photograph captured by the James Webb Space Telescope on Monday, July 11th, 2022 at about 6:30 P.M. Eastern Time. The exciting unveiling occurred during a virtual conference call — livestreamed on various websites and YouTube channels — with United States President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and several scientists patiently waiting for the first peek at the telescope’s imaging capability. The dazzling and seemingly bejeweled infrared image below is currently showing the farthest visible reach of space from our perspective! The photo depicts a Deep Field galaxy cluster known as SMACS 0723, which is situated in the constellation VOLANS the Flying Fish. The busy snapshot’s extent in the universe is equivalent to a speck of sand on Earth — indicating an immense number of cosmic wonders in a relatively small area!
Commenting on the telescope’s potential to enrich our knowledge of the universe, 14th NASA Administrator Bill Nelson notes that the photographic resolution of images taken by the telescope “is going to be so precise you are going to see whether or not planets, because of the chemical composition...of their atmospheres..., are habitable. And when you look at something as big as this is, we are going to be able to answer questions that we don't even know what the questions are yet. This is what's happening, and it's because of this wonderful team” involved with the creation, maintenance, testing, and operation of the James Webb Space Telescope.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s latest orbital telescope is named after James Edwin Webb, the NASA Administrator who served in the timeframe of 1961 to 1968. On December 25th, 2021, the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana propelled an Ariane 5 rocket containing the telescope — a thoughtful (and shiny) Christmas present gifted to outer space! NASA provides a webpage to house the telescope’s first images (↗). Let the James Webb Space Telescope and its future discoveries be a reminder that there are good things happening in our world and beyond!
