Devil'S Comet 2024 Lok. Observers in the southern hemisphere may glimpse it. The 'unused building block of the solar system' is hurtling towards the sun, leaving behind a trail of dust.

Shortly after this weekend’s perihelion, comet 12p will make its closest approach to earth on june 2, but by that time, it will only be visible in the southern hemisphere. The horned “devil comet,” notable for a recent series of explosive outbursts, is visible in the night sky now and will appear during april’s total solar eclipse.
