Blue comet tonight

the incoming comet that everyone’s talking about requires northern hemisphere observers get up very early in the morning. To glimpse comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) you’ll need a pair of binoculars or a small telescope.
However, you could also wait a few weeks and see the incoming comet at its brightest and best in the evening sky when it will be much easier to find—and more impressive.
That’s if it continues to brighten.
After a journey of hundreds of billions of miles from the remote Oort Cloud to the inner solar system, comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) will get closest to the Sun on Thursday, January 12, 2023. Before then it will be an early morning object, but after that date it will become visible all night long from the northern hemisphere ... hopefully.

Night sky isn't the same for everyone. So wakisema 'visible from Northern hemisphere" they mean we here in the Equator and South won't see it.

However, the comet will become visible for skywatchers in the Southern Hemisphere in early February 2023 as the earth slowly tilts and the comet moves closer to us.

Though IMO, equator skies are much more interesting and dramatic than those in the North.
