    Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, also known as the "devil comet," will be positioned close to the sun during the April 8 total solar eclipse.

    Some photographers also predict that the volcanic comet may be visible to the naked eye, especially if it blows its top before the big event.

    The explosive "devil comet" could rear its green-tinged, hornless head during the total solar eclipse on April 8.

    The city-size comet, which is currently racing toward Earth, may show up in photos of the rare astronomical event.

    And if it erupts before totality — the phase of the eclipse when the sun is completely blocked — the comet could also be visible to the naked eye, one expert claims.

    During early eruptions, 12P's expanded coma made it look like it had grown horns.

    However, these horns no longer appear when the comet explodes.

    Recent photographs show that 12P's coma has a rare green hue.

    Last year, photographs captured a photo of a coronal mass ejection (circled) that exploded from the sun during a hybrid eclipse above Australia.

    Don't miss comet 12P/Pons-Brooks

    The comet is already visible in 10x50 binoculars (currently as a faint object,  but let's wait until the turn of March and April.)

    The green colored comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is currently racing toward the sun before a close encounter with Earth later this year (pictured March 4).
