After months of unique and exceptional outbursts and coma structure such as the "Devil Comet", 12P Pons-Brooks has settled into a more typical comet morphology. During March, as shown here, it has brightened and developed a remarkable tail and coma supported by many jets from eruptions. This is a very active comet soon to make its close pass by Sun after the upcoming total eclipse.
