There are many comets that make their way around our solar system. We are familiar with the ones that deploy like clockwork to their own calendars, for example Halley's Comet or Comet Hale-Bopp. Though our modern understanding of comets as travelers of the solar system is a few hundred years old, there is still much to learn about them, and we frequently discover new ones!
One such newcomer is C/2022 E3(ZTF) named in part for the year it was discovered and for the Californian Zwicky Transient Facilitys wide-field survey camera. ZTF will be at its closest to the Sun (perihelion) on January 12th. All observations indicate this comet has an orbital period of 50,000 years, so don't wait up for your next chance to see it!
Fortunately for us, the Northern Hemisphere is the perfect place to spot this emerald passerby.
Tips to spot it:
If anyone gets the opportunity to snap a picture, send it over to us at observatory@umbc.edu to be featured on our webpage!
Thank you for your time and happy spotting,
Observatory Intern, Tara ODonnell

The Federal Reserve System is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse workforce. We recognize the benefit derived from different perspectives and experiences and we look carefully at candidates’ applications to identify individuals whose perspectives could benefit our work. As such, we especially encourage submissions from individuals of groups traditionally less represented in economics.
Research Assistants work closely with economists at the top of their fields on a variety of research questions and real-world policy issues while developing a toolkit beneficial for graduate study and future career paths. Research Assistants typically work for two to three years, before going on to competitive graduate programs or pursuing other careers.
We seek individuals with strong academic records and excellent written and oral communication skills. Competitive candidates should have intermediate coursework in economics and a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics. We also look for prior research experience, demonstrated interest in economics, programming experience, and familiarity with statistical programming packages, such as STATA, MATLAB, and R. Most positions require US citizenship, but some Reserve Banks consider non-U.S. citizen candidates.
Interested students will find general information about our Research Assistant program at www.fedeconjobs.org. This site also directs candidates to specific information and application instructions for each of the Federal Reserve Banks and the Board. Candidates must submit separate applications to each location of interest.
Please feel free to contact me by email or phone.
Thank you for your support!
