April 21 2024 Comet. A comet almost as famous as halley’s comet is brightening in earth’s early evening night sky and could be visible during april 8’s total solar eclipse, but something strange appears to be. On the evening of april 21 the geometric brightness of the comet will be at its greatest, but the moon will be 96% illuminated and the comet will be only 2.7 degrees above the horizon as nautical twilight ends.
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. Here’s how to spot it and snap a photo.
