TL;DR Summary

The "devil comet" 12P/Pons-Brooks, known for occasional outbursts, is currently visible in the night sky and may be visible during next month's solar eclipse. It is currently visible from the Northern Hemisphere with binoculars and telescopes, and may be visible to the naked eye by the end of the month as it swings through the inner solar system. Stargazers can look toward the west-northwest horizon to spot the comet, and if it flares significantly, it could be visible during the total solar eclipse on April 8 for those in the path of totality.
