"Stunning Livestream: Watch 'Horned' Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks Explode Past Andromeda Galaxy"
TL;DR
The green comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, also known as the devil comet, is currently passing the Andromeda galaxy and can be observed in real time through livestreams. This 10.5-mile-wide cryovolcanic comet has erupted frequently, displaying a green glow due to high levels of dicarbon in its coma and tail. It is expected to make its closest approach to Earth on June 2 before journeying back into the outer solar system. The Virtual Telescope Project will provide livestreams of the comet's conjunction with the Andromeda galaxy, and astrophotographers are capturing stunning images of this rare cosmic event.
