'Devil Comet', May Join Solar Eclipse in , Rare Synchronized Celestial Event.
'Devil Comet', May Join Solar Eclipse in , Rare Synchronized Celestial Event.
NBC reports that a "devil comet" may
be visible during next month's highly
anticipated North American solar eclipse.
So-called "devil comets" are known for
occasional explosive outbursts, which give
the celestial objects their unique appearance.
Last year, an eruption on Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks
left it with two trails of gas and ice, which
give the appearance of devil horns. .
The unique comet is currently
visible in the early evenings from the
Northern Hemisphere on the west-northwest
horizon with the aid of binoculars or telescopes.
The comet is expected to brighten throughout the
month, until it becomes visible to the naked eye as it
reaches its closest point to the sun around mid-April.
NBC reports that the "devil comet" could be visible
during the upcoming April 8 total solar eclipse
if the comet flares significantly in the coming weeks. .
Those in the eclipse's path of totality,
from Texas to Maine, could be treated
to a rare synchronized celestial event. .
The comet was first observed by French
astronomer Jean-Louis Pons in 1812. .
In 1883, British-American astronomer
William Brooks became the second
to spot the rare celestial object.
NBC reports that Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks
orbit around the sun takes 71 years, making
sightings of the comet a truly rare occurrence.

According to NASA, McCurtain County's city of
Idabel is predicted to be one of the 13 best spots

Incoming Storm , Could Boost Water Level , Recovery at Lake Mead.
'Newsweek' reports that a Pacific storm is
expected to bring "widespread precipitation"
to a large portion of the United States.
Widespread precipitation with
the next Pacific storm driven by
a strong extended jet stream -
a cold front and atmospheric river
is expected Thursday with
much colder air for Friday
and lower snow levels, National Weather Service office in San Diego, via X.
The deluge of rain is also expected to benefit
water levels at Lake Mead, which are already
26 feet higher than the same time in 2023.
Following years of drought, Lake Mead hit
alarmingly low levels in the summer of 2022. .
Above-average precipitation during
the winter helped water levels at
the reservoir begin to recover in 2023.
National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist
Chris Outler told 'Newsweek' that any
rain-producing storm system in the
Colorado River basin will benefit Lake Mead. .
The lake will definitely be getting
some of the rain, and so will the
basins that drain into the lake.
We'll take anything we can get, Chris Outler, National Weather Service
(NWS) meteorologist, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' reports that a majority of Lake Mead's
recovery can be attributed to snow melt that
feeds into the Colorado River every spring.
At the end of November, water levels
at Lake Mead began increasing again,
after maintaining levels since September. .
As of January 30, Lake Mead has reached
1,072 feet, which represents a four foot
increase since the beginning of the month.
