"Approaching Catastrophe: Massive Cryovolcanic Comet Hurtling Towards Earth"

A colossal cryovolcanic comet, named 12P/Pons-Brooks, three times the size of Mount Everest, has exploded in space and is now heading towards Earth. Although it will not collide with our planet, it will be visible to the naked eye on April 21, 2024. This cryovolcanic comet, similar in size to Halley's comet, has a solid core and releases icy fragments through fissures when warmed by the sun. Sky watchers can currently spot it in the Hercules constellation, and further eruptions are expected as it continues its journey. Cryovolcanic comets offer insights into the solar system's outer realms and may have played a role in delivering water and organic compounds to Earth. Future missions aim to study cryovolcanic activity up close and potentially discover extraterrestrial organisms in these icy eruptions.
