A volcanic comet moving around in the inner solar system has suddenly become extremely violent, blasting out four times in 48 hours. Researchers say that the activity has caused it to spew out so much energy that it is now nearly 300 times brighter than normal.

Another 'devil' comet? Volcanic icy body witnesses multiple violent explosions

The devil comet will make its closest approach of Earth later on Sunday. A report by CNN said that while the comet has not been visible to people in the Northern Hemisphere since the first week of May, those in the Southern Hemisphere have a better chance of visibility.

After a hiatus spanning seven decades, the well-known Devil Comet has made its grand reappearance in the night sky above Australia. The devil comet is dubbed as 12P/Pons-Brooks, a periodic comet in our solar system that was discovered independently by astronomers Jean-Louis Pons and William Robert Brooks.

In a visual treat for stargazers and astronomers, the 'Devil Comet' or 12/P Pons-Brooks will reach its brightest this week. The comet will also sparkle close to Jupiter and Uranus' conjunction when the “bulls-eye planet” and giant planet will meet to form an arc for 30 minutes on April 20.

The rare Devil Comet, which is also known as the “Mother of Dragons” comet and goes by the scientific name Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, is now finally visible to the human eye in the northern hemisphere's night skies.

New images show that the massive "devil comet" that will soon pass by Earth has a hidden spiral of light surrounding its large icy core. The glowing green swirl was detected with the help of photo editing techniques and would have likely gone unnoticed otherwise.

Skygazers may witness a spectacular celestial display of the "devil comet" during the total solar eclipse next month. The city-sized comet, officially known as 12P/Pons-Brooks, is hurtling towards Earth and could make a vivid appearance, possibly visible to the naked eye if it erupts before totality – the phase when the Sun is entirely obscured.

Comets, asteroids, meteor showers, there is plenty to watch in the night sky for those who love stargazing. If you are also one of those who loves seeing these wondrous celestial objects, then the year 2024 has some amazing skygazing opportunities for you.

The massive 'Devil Comet' that is hurling towards Earth and has experienced several explosive events this year has led scientists to find a pattern for its eruptions.

A massive volcanic eruption on 'Devil Comet', as it races towards Earth and might make its closest approach next year, is likely to have removed its distinctive 'horns' that earned it the sinister nickname.

Devil Comet with horns, the colossal, cryovolcanic comet three times the size of Mount Everest, has once again experienced an explosive event as it makes its way towards our planet Earth.

The "Devil Comet" which is hurtling towards Earth and has exploded on its way from the sun has created a lot of buzz about being roughly twice the size of Mount Everest and having cloud horns, which make it appear menacing.
