Apocalyptic Comet with Regrown 'Horns' and Active Volcano Approaches Earth
TL;DR Summary
A massive "horned" comet, 3 times bigger than Mount Everest, has exploded and is now hurtling towards Earth. The comet, named 12P/Pons-Brooks, measures 18.6 miles in diameter and has erupted twice in the last four months. The explosion caused the comet's coma to sprout "horns" and its shape has been compared to the Millennium Falcon spaceship from "Star Wars." Despite its ominous trajectory, the comet won't reach its closest point to Earth until 2024 and will become visible to the naked eye. This is the second explosion for 12P since July, and it is one of 20 known comets with active ice volcanoes.
