A 'photobomber' comet could make its appearance in the images that will be taken during the next solar eclipse on April 8, visible from the Americas. It is called 12P/Pons-Brooks, it follows an elliptical orbit around the Sun that lasts about 71 years and is now approaching its perihelion.
The comet is subject to sudden increases in brightness and if one of these were to occur shortly before the eclipse, it could become visible in the photos of astronomers and amateur astronomers who will follow the event.
