TL;DR Summary

The Comet Pons-Brooks, also known as Comet 12P and the "Devil comet," is heading toward Earth and is expected to pass between our planet and Venus, reaching its closest point in June. This comet, larger than Mount Everest and cryovolcanic in nature, has been known to scientists since the 1800s and recently underwent an outburst, releasing gas and ice into space. It will be visible during the solar eclipse on April 8, and there is no danger of it impacting Earth.
