Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) Captured #shorts

There's a visitor, Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), on the way and I captured an early glimpse of it. It's currently 174,058,942 miles (280,120,714 km) from Earth. It will be at its closest to Earth on July 14, 2022. The comet took 3 million years to arrive from the Oort Cloud. There will be no Earth impact. Here is the live stream of when it was captured: https://youtu.be/1vl7lNfes8s?t=2480
