C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is a non-periodic comet from the Oort cloud that was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) on 2 March 2022. [1] The comet has a bright green glow around its nucleus, due to the effect of sunlight on diatomic carbon and cyanogen.
The comet was brighter than C/2011 L4 (PanSTARRS), [citation needed] but not as bright as Hale–Bopp was in 1997. After perihelion, the comet began to fade, dropping to magnitude 2 in mid-July. [15] Its nucleus activity subdued after mid-July, and its green coma was clearly visible after that.
