The periodical comet, named ’12P/Pons-Brooks’ will finally reach closest to greet Earth on Sunday, as it hurtles towards the sun on its return journey after 71 years, thrilling the Indian and global scientific community.
Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks visits the inner solar system every 71 years and will reach its closest to the sun on Sunday (April 21), appearing bright enough to possibly be seen by the naked eye.
The "Mother of Dragons" comet, also known as 12P/Pons-Brooks, graces the Northern Hemisphere with its distinctive green glow. Visible every 71 years, its cryovolcanic eruptions contribute to its brightness. It offers scientific insights and contributes to meteor showers like the kappa-Draconids. Best viewed after dusk above the northwest horizon, it shines brighter than Uranus. Its closest approach to the sun on April 21 promises a spectacular sight, bridging generations of skywatchers.
