‘Devil Comet’ approached the sun during explosive coronal mass ejection

NASA’s STEREO-A solar observatory is closely monitoring the ‘Devil Comet’ 12P/Pons-Brooks as it approaches its closest point to the sun, known as perihelion, on April 21.Show more

Captured in footage from the observatory, the comet passes by Jupiter as a coronal mass ejection (CME) erupts from the sun.

These CMEs, triggered by magnetic reconnection on the sun’s surface, can disrupt a comet’s tail, as seen in the comet’s kinked tail caused by a ‘disconnection event.’

Astronomers, like Chris Schur, have captured stunning images of the comet, noting its changing appearance as it heads toward perihelion, Space.com has reported.
