After sunset for the next few nights (and before the Moon rises) the somewhat disappointing Comet E3 ZTF will be easy to find, being close to the bright red planet Mars. Look just above Mars: the comet will appear as a green, fuzzy patch. At magnitude 5.8, it should just about be visible with the naked eye if you live in a dark sky region: if not, you'll need binoculars.
