To observe the passing of a distant comet, the most helpful instrument would be a telescope. A telescope provides the magnification and light-gathering capability necessary to observe distant celestial objects like comets in more detail. While binoculars can also be used for observing comets, telescopes generally offer a clearer and more detailed view. A camera can capture images of the comet, but it wouldn't be used just for observing it live. A microscope, on the other hand, is not suitable for astronomical observation.
In order to observe the passing of a distant comet, which instrument would be the most helpful?
