New interstellar comet will keep a safe distance from Earth, NASA says

Cape Capeeral, Florida – NASA discovered a guilty of stars wandering in our backyard.

The Space Agency has monitored the rapid movement with the Atlas telescope in Chile earlier this week, and confirmed that it was guilty of another stars system.

Officially, it is the third being among the well -known stars that pass through our solar system and does not pose any threat to Earth.

“These things take millions of years to move from an excellent neighborhood to another, so this is likely to travel through space for hundreds of millions of years, up to billions of years,” said Paul Chaudas, director of the NASA Center in Earth Studies near Earth, on Thursday. “We do not know, so we cannot predict the star from which he came.”

The latest visitors are 416 million miles (670 million km) of the sun, outside the buyer, and this way is 37 miles (59 km) per second.

NASA said that the comet would do an approach to it closer to the sun in late October, as it starts between the orbits of Mars and the Earth – but closer to the red planet from the United States at a distance of 150 million miles (240 million km).

Astronomers all over the world watch the icy snowball that has been officially appointed as 3i/Atlas to determine its size and shape. The Associated Press has told the Associated Press that there have been more than 100 notes since it was discovered on July 1, with preliminary reports on a tail and cloud of gas and dust about the nucleus of the comet.

The comet should be visible by Telescope until September, before it is very approaching the sun, and it appears again in December on the other side of the sun.

Based on his brightness, the comet appears to be greater than the first two traders between the stars, and perhaps several miles (dozens of kilometers), Chaudas said. It also comes faster, from a different direction, and although its local star is unknown, scientists are suspected that it was closer to the center of the Milky Way.

The first visitor among the stars that was observed from the earth was Omamwa, Hawaii for Scout, in honor of the observatory in Hawaii, which he discovered in 2017.

The second being confirmed by another star system to our star – 21/Borisov – was discovered in 2019 by the Crimea astronomer with this name. It is also believed to be guilty.

“We expected to see things between the stars for decades, frankly, and finally we see them,” said Zodas. “A visitor from another solar system, although it is normal – it is not artificial, they don’t feel enthusiastic because some people do … it’s very exciting.”
