"View the Spectacular 'Devil Comet' Flyby: A Guide"

The "devil comet," Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, is currently visible in the Northern Hemisphere and will be at its brightest in mid-April. It can be observed with binoculars or a small telescope just after sunset, looking West beneath the Moon and to the right of Jupiter. Although it will make its closest approach to Earth on June 2, it poses no danger to the planet. Comets are composed of frozen dust, rock, and ice from the solar system's formation, and as they heat up, they emit gases and dust, forming a glowing head and a tail.
