Chairman of the Syrian Astronomical Society Mohammed al-Osairi said the Earth was experiencing a very rare astronomical phenomenon and would not happen again. The passing of the "Christmas" culprit shines closer to Earth at about 12 million km and continues until December 18.
Al-Useiri said that the comet could be seen with the naked eye in remote locations of light pollution in the countryside and in telescopes in illuminated areas and cities.
The head of the Syrian Astronomical Society pointed out that the comet of the 10 rarest comets passes from this distance near the ground, stressing that his vision was clearly linked to the nature of time.
A large number of telescopes will be installed Friday in the building of the Astronomical Society, and all citizens will be able to visit the building in Old Damascus for free to see the comet.
He pointed out that the reason for naming the culprit "Christmas" was to coincide with the Christmas period. It should be noted that Syria has a date with a total eclipse of the moon on January 21st and will see all the stages.
