In this case, NASA said Neowise would pass by Earth 'at a harmless distance of 103 million kilometers,' while giving astronomers a good chance to study its substance and structure. Sky watchers may be able to see Neowise as it passes through the inner solar system. But 'its nearness to the sun' could make sighting it difficult, NASA says. Decades later, in a performance of passing as anti-passing, African American artist Adrian Piper created “My Calling (Card) # 1 (for Dinners and Cocktail Parties), 1986–90.” Piper’s piece, inspired by her own experience as a black woman of ambiguous racial presentation, consists in part of a literal “race card,” meant to be handed.

As Passing begins, Irene Redfield--a sophisticated and comfortably married woman of African-American descent--is opening her mail. She discovers a letter from Clare Kendry, an old acquaintance, and this document sets off a chain of memories. Irene recalls Clare's difficult childhood and cunning temperament, but is most preoccupied with a recent meeting between Clare and herself that had taken place two years before, in Chicago. The two women ran into one another purely by chance. However, the light-complexioned Clare explained a few of the more sensitive details of her life--in particular, the fact that she was 'passing' as white.

Before the end of her stay in Chicago, Irene paid a visit to Clare's quarters. Here, Irene met Gertrude Martin, another African-American woman who could be mistaken for a white woman; Irene also encountered John Bellew, Clare's bigoted husband. Although the three women maintained their composure when Bellew voiced some of his demeaning opinions, Gertrude later expressed strong emotion over the boldness of Clare's version of 'passing.' For her part, Irene resolved never to communicate with Clare again.

However, Clare managed to reestablish contact with Irene. She sought out the Redfields in person, and bonded with the various members of the family. Clare's relationship with Irene's two sons was affectionate, and Clare also began to accompany Irene and Irene's husband, Brian, to upscale Harlem events. Irene was not fully comfortable with accepting Clare back into her life; in fact, Irene discussed the issue of racial identity with Hugh Wentworth, a white traveler and author who sometimes appeared in Harlem society. Yet Irene's discomfort intensified--and took on a new form--when it occured to her that Brian and Clare could be carrying on an affair.

Irene was determined to keep her marriage together, but soon a new disruption emerged. While shopping with a Harlem acquaintance, Felise Freeland, Irene encountered John Bellew. This chance meeting alerted Bellew that Irene was black. Although Clare's marriage might have been in serious danger, Irene remained quiet about her meeting and continued to accompany Brian and Clare to social functions, including a Christmastime party hosted by Dave and Felise Freeland. Yet Bellew tracked his wife to that location and created an uproar. Irene's recollections of the encounter between Clare and Bellew at the Freelands' party are spotty: Clare fell to her death from an open window, but it is not clear how exactly this catastrophe occurred. Bellew could not be found after Clare's fall, and the Freelands and Redfields spend the very end of the novel consulting with a mysterious man who is trying to figure out what had happened.

Comets are solar system objects made up of ice, rock and dust. Right now, a newly-discovered one is speeding by Earth, providing excellent light shows for the planet's people.

The ice-rock is called Neowise. It is the brightest comet to appear above the Northern Hemisphere in 25 years. Social media users in many countries have posted images they captured of Neowise, as it lit up the sky over their heads.

Comets are normally about 8 to 16 kilometers wide. But, as they travel near the sun, they heat up, releasing gas and dust. The comet expands to form a 'glowing head that can be larger than a planet,' says the U.S. space agency NASA. The process also creates a sunlit 'tail' of dust. It can stretch for millions of kilometers behind the comet.

Time Passing By

Scientists say Neowise is believed to be about 5 kilometers across. It passed inside Mercury's orbit on July 3, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in a statement. The close pass by the sun was 'cooking' the comet's outermost parts, causing a major release of gas and dust material. 'And yet the comet has managed to survive this intense roasting,' the statement said.

The comet was named for NASA's NEOWISE infrared space telescope, which discovered it in March. The NEOWISE project aims to search the skies for what scientists call near-Earth objects, or NEOs. Such objects include asteroids and comets that could come within 50 million kilometers of Earth's orbit.

In this case, NASA said Neowise would pass by Earth 'at a harmless distance of 103 million kilometers,' while giving astronomers a good chance to study its substance and structure.

Sky watchers may be able to see Neowise as it passes through the inner solar system. But 'its nearness to the sun' could make sighting it difficult, NASA says.

Experts say people in the Northern Hemisphere - the part of Earth above the equator - should look toward the northwestern sky, just below the 'Big Dipper' star group.

Until recently, the best time to see Neowise was about an hour before sunrise. This week, the comet began making its appearance in the evening sky shortly after sunset.

People have been able to see the head of the comet without the use of equipment. But devices like binoculars and telescopes are better for viewing the comet's long tail.

Neowise is expected to be seeable across the Northern Hemisphere until mid-August. It will then start making its way back to the outer parts of the solar system.

NASA says it will be about 7,000 years before the comet returns. 'So I wouldn't suggest waiting for the next pass,' said Joe Masiero of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Astronauts on the International Space Station caught a good look at the bright ice-rock last week. NASA's Bob Behnken captured an image of Neowise and shared the picture on social media.

It shows central Asia in the background, and part of the space station in the foreground. 'Stars, cities, spaceships, and a comet!' Behnken tweeted from orbit.
