Those of you with dark enough skies last week might have caught a glimpse of the green comet 46P/Wirtanen. It was bright enough to see with the naked eye, and occurred alongside the Geminid meteor shower.

I couldn’t see the comet from where I was staying (the sky was too bright), and you might have missed it as well. Thankfully, plenty of other astrophotographers did not, and have posted some pretty awesome images.
Comet 46P/Wirtanen came closest to Earth on Dec. 16, when it was around 11.
