SERAMBINEWS.COM – Telescope outer space Hubble NASA states the appearance of the largest comet ever encountered today.
Unlike asteroids, comets are celestial bodies that revolve around the sun in an elliptical, parabolic or hyperbolic orbit.
This comet is formed from ice and dust, as it approaches the sun, some of the material making up the comet will evaporate and form a gas head and tail.
Not surprisingly, comets are often referred to as tailed stars even though comets are not actually stars.
Speaking of comets, telescopes outer space Hubble recently captured a portrait of the largest comet ever discovered. The comet looks like a dirty snowball with a spectacular tail millions of miles long.
Through telescope sightings, the comet looks hazy, but this celestial body has a dense core of ice and dust.
Launching from Cnet (13/04/2022), telescope Hubble has confirmed that the core of the largest comet ever found fell into a snowball floating in space with a size of up to 137 km.
Telescope outer space Hubble is a joint project NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). Telescope it often stares at distant galaxies, but scientists can also use it to measure the core of the largest recently discovered comet.
The largest comet is named C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein).
According to information revealed, this largest comet is 4 billion years old and originated from a nest of distant comets, theoretically called the Oort Cloud which was first observed in 2010.
