On the next revolution of the ISS around the Earth, the astronaut took a picture of the comet even closer.
"Quite well you can see her tail from outer space, aboard the International space station," he said.
In the coming days the comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) will be visible from Earth in the predawn sky low above the North-Eastern horizon near the constellation of Auriga. It was opened in the spring of 2020 with the help of infrared space telescope NEOWISE.
