The so-called Devil Comet has a much less terrifying name: Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks. This short-period comet orbits the Sun once every 71.2 years, similar to the famous Halley’s Comet. (For the record, any comet with a period less than about 200 years is considered short-period.)
This comet is not a newcomer to the solar system scene. We’ve known about Pons-Brooks ever since 1812, when comet hunter Jean-Louis Pons spotted it at 4th magnitude. But observations of the comet weren’t precise enough to predict exactly when or where it would return, so it was rediscovered in 1883 by William Brooks. More modern astronomers, working backward, think maybe the comet was recorded on previous passes, too, as early as 1385.
Why do we think it’s bigger than Everest? (Mount Everest, for the record, is 29,031.69 feet [8,848.86 meters], or 5.498 miles [8.849 kilometers] tall.) Well, determining the size of a comet is difficult without directly observing it via spacecraft or radar, but 2020 paper in Research Notes of the AAS estimated from its brightness at the time that its nucleus - the chunk of ice and rock that makes up the comet - is some 10.5 miles (17 km) across. Yep, that’s bigger than Everest, though they warn this is likely an overestimate because the method they use makes it hard to tell exactly where the nucleus stops and the coma of gas, ice, and dust coming off the comet’s surface begins.
