English Heritage has tweeted that the Green Comet has “appeared over Stonehenge“
“A comet last visible during the Stone Age has appeared for the first time over Stonehenge. The last time the green comet, called C/2022 E3 (ZTF), was visible from Earth was around 50,000 years ago, long before the stone circle was built.”
They have even published a picture of the event but we have doubts that a casual observer could have seen it readily, without binoculars or special photographic equipment and techniques. So we think the photograph of the comet, without explanation, is misleading. To put it mildly.
English Heritage, of course, has a long track record of misleading text and images of Stonehenge. Some of the examples are here.
