Largest Comet flyby in 2031! #shorts

There is a comet that is so big, it was initially classified as a minor planet. It is called Comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein). This comet was discovered in 2014 by two astronomers, using data from the Dark Energy Survey, a project that aims to map the expansion of the universe. The comet is one of the largest ever found with a diameter of about 137 kilometers, which is 50 times larger than the average comet. It is currently on its way to the inner solar system and will make its closest approach to the sun in 2031.
