TL;DR Summary

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, also known as the "Devil Comet," is set to make a return during the 2024 total solar eclipse, offering an exciting celestial event for skywatchers. The comet, known for its hornlike appearance and recent explosive outbursts, will be visible during the eclipse and can be best viewed in the last 10 days of March before it moves to the daytime sky in April.
