Easter with the 'horned' comet will be visible to the naked eye - Space and Astronomy. Comet 12P is an ancient cosmic 'iceberg', formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago.

Approximately every 71 years it returns to visit the Sun and for this reason it falls into the family of periodic comets, like Halley's comet. Next June it will reach its minimum distance from Earth (but then it will no longer be visible from the Northern Hemisphere ). Discovered on July 12, 1812 by the astronomer Jean-Louis Pons.
