• The comet could make an appearance during the upcoming solar eclipse. 

Need a compelling reason to escape the city? The next few weeks offer a unique opportunity to witness a rare, green comet streaking through the night sky.

12P/Pons-Brooks, a comet larger than Everest, has already been spotted by amateur astronomers. It should become increasingly visible to the naked eye as it approaches the sun over the next month.
