Comet 12P/Pons-brooks

We have a new and certainly very beautiful image of Comet 12P/Pons-brooks, known by the sensational media as Comet Diablo.

The photo is by Michael Jaeger, he took it from Austria on February 16, the comet's brightness is expected to increase at least 40 times until it reaches a magnitude of + 4, that would be for April 8 and that magnitude would make it an object almost visible to the naked eye, which also coincides with it being just in time for the solar eclipse, since at that time it will be close to the sun.

This Comet suffers violent eruptions and explosions which can greatly increase its brightness and can also give it curious shapes. The devil comes from because in one of the explosions the journalists saw in the jets of gas that it expelled some species of demonic horns, without However, astronomy fans compared it to Han Solo's ship, The Millennium Falcon, they are different perspectives with which to use the imagination

The important thing is that there was an explosion that caused it to multiply its brightness by 100 for several days, it is a very active comet, the comet suffers explosions and to imagine that one of those explosions was right during the eclipse, it would be spectacular, spectacular for those who have lucky enough to be able to see the total solar eclipse on April 8.

Here I show the map published by the NOA, National Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States where it analyzes the average climatic conditions in the United States for that date, it is not a weather forecast exactly, it is an estimate with data from past years which can give us a reference to find the best place to see this solar eclipse.

During it you can also see Venus and Jupiter Venus will be seen very well and will shine intensely at about 15 degrees from the Sun even before the totality of the eclipse begins, while Jupiter will be about 30 degrees from the Sun and the Comet eye will be near Jupiter.

This Comet 12P/Pons-brooks is one of the large ones. It is estimated that its nucleus is about 30 km in diameter. It will have its closest approach to the sun on April 21 and don't be afraid of sensational journalists with catastrophic or shocking headlines, this comet will be A beautiful spectacle but it is no danger to the Earth, neither it nor its explosions. Its closest approach to our planet will be on June 2 at 232 million kilometers, that is a very safe distance.
