The comet is also known to exhibit 'erratic outbursts,' making it even brighter in the night's sky.
A massive comet, which has earned itself the nickname 'Devil Comet,' is charging towards Earth after an 'erratic' outburst earlier this year.The comet, officially names 12P/Pons-Brooks, has fascinated astronomers for centuries and will be visible from Earth in April 2024 for the first time in 71 years.
'Pons-Brooks is also known to exhibit erratic outbursts so this gives astronomers more excitement in observing it,' Ye said.These outbursts occur when the comets suddenly get a lot more active and eject large amounts of gas and dust in a short space of time, causing the comets to shine brighter. No one knows for sure why these outbursts happen, but they do often occur as the comets near their parent star.
