April 21: Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks at Perihelion (Closest Point to Sun)
At most latitudes, you might be able to catch the faint comet this week after sunset, as the sky becomes dark. Find 12P/Pons-Brooks in our Night Sky Map. (The size and brightness of the comet has been exaggerated to show its position more clearly.)
Our Interactive Night Sky Map simulates the sky above Polyarnye Zori. The Moon and planets have been enlarged slightly for clarity. On mobile devices, tap to steer the map by pointing your device at the sky. Need some help?
