Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks can be seen from Earth for the first time since 1954. The comet will come closest to the sun on April 21st, and the closest distance to Earth is expected to be around 1.5 astronomical units (around 225 million kilometers) on June 2nd.

If the evening sky is clear, the comet can be found using star maps, currently in the constellation Andromeda. The first images such as those by comet expert Michael Jäger have already been published on social networks.
