Hubble Sees First-Time Icy Visitor Comet K2

Показать описание

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope observed the farthest-discovered active inbound comet, Comet K2. K2 came from the distant Oort Cloud and is visiting our inner solar system for the first (and only) time. Since we're seeing it so far away, past the orbit of Saturn, K2 is still in its early phase of activity, likely making it the most primitive comet anyone has ever seen.

It's sad to know that the comet will leave our solar system forever

Ice shouldn't sublimate that far out? based on the other images of rocky comets, it would be wise to not to think of comets as dirty snowballs any more.

If I go to a comet, will I go into a coma?

How do we see stars, galaxies, nebulae, black holes etc so clearly in the night sky (with the naked eye and through telescopes) through half a light year worth of ice that surrounds our solar system??
Something's fishy with this oort theory👆 😕

Is it safe to say the Sun & Stars do not have Tails like Comets due to having an EMF? That would suggest that Space within Heliosphere is divided from Space outside Heliosphere. Otherwise the Sun would resemble a Comet rather than just the Heliosphere having a Tail like the Magnetosphere.

That would also suggest that EMF's create Vacuums in Space since the Sun & Planets are Stationary & that Space itself is moving w/ each EMF.

True or False. Thanks.
