'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.

While the company made a profit, the Moores claim that they received no dividends and that the money was reinvested in the business. As a result, the Moores did not pay taxes between 2006 and 2017 on what the U.S. government later defined as income from their investment. . Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017, the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes. They later sought a refund for that payment, arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed based on an increase in the value of a capital investment not qualifying as income. The couple's challenge was rejected by the Supreme Court 7-2
