Space is full of mysteries where every day some new event keeps happening. Many of these incidents are such that there is a danger to the earth. Now once again such an incident has happened in space, due to which the earth is under threat. The reason for this danger is the largest comet in history, which is moving rapidly towards the Earth. The US space agency NASA is monitoring this incident. This comet is moving towards the Earth at a speed of 35,405 km per hour.
The comet weighs 500 trillion tons with an icy nucleus 128 km wide. This comet is 50 times more massive than the other comet. Now the biggest question is, is there any threat to the Earth from the biggest comet in history? Let's know about it.
There is no need to be afraid of the comet moving towards the earth. The US space agency NASA has said that this comet will not come closer than about 1.60 billion km from the Sun.
According to a media report, the name of this comet is C/2014 UN271 which was first seen in November 2010 which was 4.82 billion km away from the Sun at that time. At that time this comet was moving towards its center along the edge of the solar system.
According to the report, the mass of comet C/2014 UN271 is one million times larger than other comets. It is usually seen closer to the sun. Scientists have been watching it ever since it was first observed.
Scientists monitoring this comet believe that in the year 2031, its journey will end at the distance of Saturn from Earth. The size of this giant comet has been ascertained from the pictures taken with the Hubble Space Telescope.
Finding the size of any comet is a very difficult task, because it is surrounded by dust particles. Because of this, it becomes difficult to see it.
Scientists have used computer models to locate this comet. It is being told that this comet moving towards the earth is billions of years old. Scientists trying to unravel the secrets of space make new revelations every day.
