"Rare 'Horned' Comet to Light Up April Sky: How to See It"

Skywatchers are in for a rare treat as the "once-in-a-lifetime" Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, larger than Mount Everest and likened to the Millennium Falcon, becomes visible in the night sky this month. Observers can spot it westward after nightfall, with the prime viewing period predicted to be in late March. This cryovolcanic comet, with explosive activity and a 71-year orbit, is expected to reach its closest approach to the sun on April 21 and pass near Earth on June 2 before not returning until 2095.
