Look up! Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is heading straight for us - and it has an epithet that gives us the chills: the Devil's Comet is one of the brightest and most impressive comets of our time. All eyes are now turned eagerly to the night sky. Anyone who gets to see it will probably only witness this spectacle once in a lifetime, as this heavenly messenger only visits us every 71 years. The icy, beautiful object does not officially pose any danger, but some sources associate the rising of comets with apocalyptic or very happy times. Are we on the brink of catastrophe with the visit of 12P/Pons-Brooks or can we look forward to a surprise?
