According to recordings made on January 8, the core of comet C / 2014 UN271, also known as Bernardinelli-Bernstein after the explorers, is about 50 times larger than that of an average comet, and weighs 500 trillion tons more than an average, A comet closer to the sun, NASA said.
According to the space agency, the celestial body is traveling at a speed of 22,000 miles (35,200 kilometers), but it is not a threat because it will never approach the Sun more than a billion miles (1.6 billion kilometers).
A gigantic comet heading from the so-called Oort Cloud at the edge of the Solar System to the inside of the Solar System is estimated to be the closest to the Sun in 2031. The comet was first spotted in 2010, when it was still 3 billion miles from the Sun, and may now be 2 billion miles away. Describing a large duckweed, he returns to the Oort Cloud in a few million years. In addition to its sheer size, the comet also surprised astronomers with its unusually dark, “blacker than coal” color, MTI writes.
