In Universe Sandbox, you can also explore and learn about the 3D shapes of constellations, including the Orion constellation shown here.
Some of the stars in the Orion constellation are even farther from each other than they are from Earth!

Today the green comet, C/2022 E3 (ZTF), will make its closest approach to Earth for the first time in 50,000 years.
The comet’s coma, or head, is green, which may be due to frozen carbon on its surface turning into a gas when exposed to UV light from the Sun.

Today at 7:27 PM EST asteroid 2023 BU will pass within 2,200 km of Earth, one of the closest passes on record. That's about the distance from Boston to Orlando.
The asteroid is not a threat to Earth but the encounter will change its orbit around the Sun from 359 to 425 days.
