"Rare Sight: Southern Utah Stargazers Await 'Devil Comet' Amid Eclipse Season"

TL;DR Summary
Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, also known as the "devil comet," is set to make a rare appearance during the upcoming solar eclipse season, potentially visible to stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere. With a size comparable to Mount Everest, the comet is known for its horned features and green color. Stargazers may be able to spot it near the western horizon at dusk using a telescope or binoculars, and it will make its closest pass by Earth just days before the solar eclipse on April 8. This celestial event coincides with eclipse season, which includes a lunar eclipse on March 24 and the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8.
