Rare green comet not seen for 50,000 years, visible in our skies tonight

On February 1, a rare green comet discovered right here in San Diego will be in its brightest form as it nears earth.

If you're in the city, you'll be able to see it using a telescope.

But, if you head to our local mountains or desert areas, there’s a good chance you can view it with the naked eye.

The green comet is unique because it’s shooting through our solar system for the first time in 50,000 years.
