Original Note:
This comet is not a hazard to Earth, as this tweet implies. At its closest approach next spring, comet 12P/Pons-Brooks will be 1.5 times as far away from Earth as Earth is from the sun. This image is of a partial solar eclipse; comet 12P/Pons-Brooks will not look like this. https://www.businessinsider.com/devil-comet-excites-scientists-as-it-passes-through-solar-system-2023-10 https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_lookup.html#/?sstr=12P
