    Well, it looks like it "explodes" every 15 days, as a particularly
    volatile region rotates back into sunlight. Makes it an interesting
    object to image. And "devil"? Well, it does seem to grow "horns"
    during those eruptions!

    Pretty bad article. The comet is most certainly not "classified as a cryovolcano", nor is there any "ignition of gas".
