The US space agency NASA has detected a large comet at a record level passing close to Earth. Its icy nucleus is a million times larger than that of comets found close to the Sun. This comet is spread for 80 miles. Its mass is believed to be about 500 trillion tons. (NASA)
NASA said that this comet was named C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein). The speed of this comet is 22,000 miles per hour and it is moving rapidly from the edge of the solar system to its center. Earth is present at the center of the solar system. In such a situation, it is likely to move towards the Earth. (NASA)
However, we do not need to fear about this comet, as we are completely safe from it. Actually, it is going to pass one billion miles away from the sun and the event of its passing is not going to happen before 2031. In such a situation, the earth is completely safe from this comet. (NASA)
The comet was first reported in November 2010. During that time it was at a distance of three billion miles from the sun. Since then, researchers have been keeping an eye on this comet and trying to get more information about it. For this, the help of telescopes present both in space and on Earth is being taken. (NASA)
Scientists used NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope for research on comets. Through this the size of the comet was ascertained. Researchers thought that the comet must be very large, because it was so active even at such a long distance from the Sun. But more information about it was found this year through the Hubble Telescope. (NASA)
Scientists have told that this comet is billions of years old and through this we get information about the early days of our solar system. It has come from the Oort cloud, the most distant region of our solar system. The comet has been moving towards our Sun for the last one million years. (NASA)
