"June's Celestial Spectacle: 'Star Wars'-Inspired Comet and Solar Eclipse to Amaze Astronomers and Skywatchers"

A comet shaped like Han Solo's Millennium Falcon spaceship, known as Comet 12/P Pons-Brooks, will be visible near Earth in June for the first time since 1954. The comet's unique shape is due to the "horns" of gas and ice trailing on both sides, formed during eruptions earlier this year. Astronomers believe it could be visible in April as it nears the sun and again in June when it is closest to Earth. In clear, dark skies, it may be visible without a telescope. However, there is no risk of a collision with Earth, as the comet's distance is 70 times further away than the moon.
