Details:
Comet 12P Pons Brooks had a small < 1 mag outburst on August 30, 2024. After all the amazing activity of the "Devil Comet" in 2023 and its great tail and coma in April 2024 its outbound passage as been regular, only two outbursts, one in June and a small one at the end of August. Well behaved on its exit new models will be needed to understand why there outbound outbursts recorded in the last passage and little activity in this passage. Maybe it will all be understood on its next passage- in 71 years.
