"Spotting Spectacular Comets in the Night Sky: A Guide"

A rare, green comet larger than Everest, 12P/Pons-Brooks, will be visible in the night sky over the next few weeks, offering a unique opportunity for stargazers. It is expected to become increasingly visible to the naked eye as it approaches the sun, with its closest approach on April 21. Best seen from the Northern Hemisphere before then, the comet may surprise with unexpected flare-ups, and astronomers recommend heading to the countryside away from city lights for the best viewing experience.
