Astronomers are closely tracking the bright green comet C/2024 E1 as it approaches Earth and prepares for a future escape from the solar system. Originating from the distant Oort Cloud, the city-sized comet is on a hyperbolic path and is expected to be permanently ejected after its close solar encounter, similar to the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.Astronomers are closely tracking the bright green comet C/2024 E1 as it approaches Earth and prepares for a future escape from the solar system.
