TL;DR Summary

The "Devil Comet" Pons-Brooks, also known as 12P/Pons-Brooks, is currently visible in the southwest sky after sunset and is about to reach its brightest point before departing from the northern sky. Although it may not be visible to the naked eye, it can be observed with binoculars. To spot the comet, look for bright Jupiter in the constellation Aries about 30 minutes after sunset, as it will be in close proximity to the giant planet. This weekend marks its perihelion, making it the best time to catch a glimpse before it sinks lower towards the western horizon.
