Devil Comet

Mount Everest-sized Devil comet hurtling in Earth’s direction could explode today.

Pons-Brooks Comet - Comet 13P/Pons-Brooks, also called the Devil Comet, is about the size of Mount Everest and it is hurtling towards Earth.
After an outburst in July, scientists believe that the comet could explode once again today.
Ice volcanoes on the comet have erupted at least six times in 2023.
That eruption caused the comet to distort into a horseshoe or horned shape.

Near Earth - When the comet reaches the closest point to the Sun in its orbit, it will be at a distance of 0.8 astronomical units.
One astronomical unit is the approximate distance between the Earth and the Sun.

The Devil Comet might come relatively close to the Earth, but it will be further away than Venus, which is about 0.7 astronomical units away from the Sun.

Volcanism - The Devil Comet has its explosion due to a phenomenon, volcanism.
Cryovolcanic - The comet is cryovolcanic, meaning that it has volcanoes that erupt material into the extremely cold environment of space.
