Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
- ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Want to catch a rare glimpse of an Everest-sized comet?: Here is what you need to know about the so-called ‘Devil Comet’.
bbc.co.uk/news/av/science-environment-68858934
Quick Glance: Return of the 'Devil Comet' after 71 Years
- 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 comet, whose nucleus has a 34km diameter, has been likened to Halley's comet due to its molecular structure and was nicknamed 'Devil comet' due to eruptions from its nucleus.
- 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.
