TL;DR

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, known as the devil comet, is currently passing the Andromeda galaxy, offering a rare celestial spectacle. The 10.5-mile-wide cryovolcanic comet has erupted frequently, displaying a green glow due to high dicarbon levels. Livestreams from the Virtual Telescope Project in Italy will capture the conjunction, and astrophotographers have already captured stunning images of the comet and galaxy. The comet is expected to make its closest approach to Earth on June 2 before journeying back into the outer solar system.
