- The green, horned 'Devil comet' is now visible in Australian skies, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a unique celestial body.

- The 'Devil comet,' also known as 12P/Pons-Brooks, becomes more visible as it gets closer to the sun due to its hot icy core and gas trail. It will be at its brightest on 22 April, but finding it might be challenging as it competes with the full moon.
- Experts suggest initially spotting the comet with binoculars or a telescope, although it will also be visible to the naked eye. It is considered a piece of history and special due to its brightness.
