See it on NASA's siteComet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is still visible, even as it fades from view. It has passed its closest points to both the Sun and Earth, and is now heading back to the outer Solar System. This image from late January shows the comet between the Big and Little Dippers. Its orbit has it gliding across the northern sky.
