TL;DR Summary

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, a cryovolcanic comet, has developed horn-like emissions of light after a bright and cold volcanic eruption. The comet, known for its irregular shape, is around 34 kilometers in diameter and passes by the Sun every 71 years. The horn-like patterns, resembling the Millennium Falcon or the USS Enterprise, are believed to be caused by the comet's irregular shape, which partially blocked the gas and redirected its release.
