Biggest comet from outer solar system ever seen is 137 kilometres wide | New Scientist
Astronomers have confirmed that a "mega comet" flying towards the sun is the biggest comet from the outer solar system ever found.
In June 2021, astronomers announced the discovery of comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein) beyond the orbit of Uranus . Its brightness suggested it was a vast object originating from a cloud of icy bodies that surrounds our solar system, the Oort Cloud .
Earth's Water Was in The Solar System Before Earth Itself, Meteorite Reveals
According to a team led by geochemist Jérôme Aléon of the French National Museum of Natural History, isotopes of water in a meteorite from the birth of the Solar System match isotopes of water found on Earth today.
"The initial isotopic composition of water in the Solar System is of paramount importance to understanding the origin of water on planetary bodies but remains unknown, despite numerous studies," the researchers write in their paper .
NASA hopes James Webb Space Telescope will unlock secrets of 'super-Earths' and hot rocky worlds |
Some of the first James Webb Space Telescope investigations will focus on a variety of planet very different from what's found in our cosmic neighborhood.
Once Webb finishes its six-month commissioning period around June, it is scheduled to start a series of studies in exoplanets . One such project will study 11 "super-Earths," which are worlds between the sizes of Earth and Neptune. There are no such planets in our solar system .
Australian-made solar system installed at remote Telstra tower - Australian Manufacturing Forum
