Twice as big as Mount Everest!The huge comet is about to fly the earth next month

Science Fiction Network June 24 (Wang Ziyu) Recently, a huge comet is flying towards the earth, but it does not pose a threat to the earth. It is reported that this comet will be closest to the earth on July 14, 2022.

This comet is called C/2017 K2, which is twice the size of Mount Everest, and is very bright and active. In 2017, astronomers discovered it for the first time. At that time, it was flying between Saturn and the King of Heaven, and now it is moving from the edge of the solar system to the earth and the inner solar system from the edge of the solar system.

According to astronomers, when a comet is active, its brightness can be seen on the earth. What supports it to maintain brightness is the energy that rely on the sun to heat the gas and form the comet's comets and comet tails. But this comet flew from Orte Cloud to the earth, and scientists are temporarily unclear how it maintains so long for such a long time.

Orte Cloud is a sphere cloud surrounded by the solar system, which has a lot of uncomfortable comets. At present, "Traveler No. 1" is the aircraft closest to Orte Cloud, but it still takes about 300 years to reach Oort Cloud. It takes about 30,000 years to pass Orte Cloud.

Astronomers said that when the comet was close to the earth, it could be seen as long as a telescope. Although it does not pose a threat to the earth, it is possible to learn more about Orte Cloud and even the ancient universe by studying the celestial body.
