TL;DR Summary

The "devil comet" 12P/Pons-Brooks, a cryovolcanic comet, has been captured in stunning photos as it races towards Earth, with its closest approach expected later this year. The comet, known for its green-hued coma, has been erupting irregularly, earning it the nickname "devil comet." Its recent lack of activity has puzzled scientists, as it was expected to become more active as it approached the sun. The comet's upcoming close approach to Earth may provide an opportunity for researchers to study this phenomenon in greater detail.
