#Comet12P's shape has earned it the name ‘horned’ comet, or ‘devil’ comet. It was first discovered in 1812, and then again in 1883, but it is thought that records of a bright object in the night sky from China in 1385 and Italy in 1457 could also be observations of this comet.
@esaoperations Catch it now or wait 73 years! 💫
