12P/Pons-Brooks, a potentially erupting comet, becomes visible to the naked eye in dark skies at the end of March.

The "Devil Comet," 12P/Pons-Brooks, a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event, will be visible to the naked eye in dark skies at the end of March. This cryovolcanic comet, known for its potential to erupt, can become 100 times brighter and change shape. Best viewed in the coming weeks before it gets closer to Earth in June, when lighter evenings make observation difficult.
