'Devil Comet' Hurtling Towards Earth Could Explode In Space Today

These eruptions can create unique visual patterns when viewed through a telescope, such as the devil horns.

A comet nicknamed the "Devil Comet" for its horned blasts is approaching Earth, spewing ice and gas every 15 days like clockwork. It erupts when its sun-facing side aligns with solar heat, triggered by its 2-week rotation. The latest blast was on December 14, with the next expected around December 29–30. Astronomers are fascinated by this cosmic clockwork.

“The last few outbursts have been on a 15-day cadence, and we might be coming up with another one,” Nick James of the British Astronomical Association (BAA) told Spaceweather.com.
