Discovered the greatest comet ever observed – the frozen giant

An innovative discovery was recently made about the largest comet ever observed, as it is directed to the sun by Ort’s cloud, to the limits of our solar system. Astronomers have recently managed to observe the comet, known as C/2014 UN271, who crosses the deep space with the help of powerful Alma (Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array) in Chile. According to the US National Radio Observatory (Nrao), the frozen giant is 85 miles in diameter and is more than ten times larger than any known comet. The Nrao reported that astronomers found through new observations of carbon monoxide jets launched by the compact Comet kernel. Using Alma, the researchers identified the comet in the deep space, near Neptune, about 17 times farther from the sun to the Earth, according to a Nrao announcement. Thanks to the high sensitivity and analysis of the Alma telescope, scientists managed to […]
