Devil comet is a large, periodic comet that orbits the Sun every 71 years.
It got its name from its appearance !!!
This comet look like a devil as it has horns or forked tail .
This appearance is because of outbursts of gas and dust which forms a horn like structure.
These horns are not physical structurs. They are the result of comet's cryovolcanic outbursts. ( cold volcano )
The ejected gas and dust form a distinctive horse-shoe or horned shape in its nucleus.
