A "dead" comet that resembles a human skull is set to travel past the Earth less than a fortnight after Halloween.
The space rock nicknamed the "Great Pumpkin" by NASA, was discovered in 2015 by a team at the University of Hawaii before passing Earth that year.
It's expected to fly past again in early November at a distance of more than forty million kilometres.
It's not predicted to pass again for another 70 years.
