Dicho hallazgo siempre es realmente importante para los científicos, astrofísicos, astrónomos y todos aquellos que se dediquen a la exploración espacial. Los cometas representan formaciones que están fuertemente relacionadas al inicio de nuestro sistema solar. Entonces, una roca de mayor tamaño significa mucha información para quienes estudian el entendimiento del cosmos. Pero en referencia a este tipo de temas siempre es ideal prestar atención a los expertos en la materia. Entonces, para esta ocasión hacemos eco de las acertadas palabras de Bernardita Ried, licenciada en física y ...

A comet believed to be the largest ever discovered has been exposed by a pair of US astronomers and is heading towards the sun. This illustration shows the distant Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein as it might look in the outer Solar System. Photo: Supplied / NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/J. da Silva Comet Berardinelli-Bernstein, named after its founding astronomers, is estimated to measure at least 100km-long and 1000 times the mass of most comets. That makes it arguably the largest comet discovered in modern times. For comparison, the asteroid that slammed into Earth 66 million years ago and wiped out the...

Giant comet found in outer solar system The discovery of the comet estimated to 100-200 kilometers across was made by Penn researchers following a comprehensive search of data from the Dark Energy Survey. Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein is the most distant comet ever discovered and possibly the largest seen in modern times. Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein (circled) is estimated to be about 1000 times more massive than a typical comet, making it arguably the largest comet discovered in modern times. It was discovered using images for the Dark Energy Su...

Giant Comet Found in Outer Solar System by Dark Energy Survey Estimated to be 100–200 kilometers across, the unusual wandering body will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2031 Dark Energy Survey/DOE/FNAL/DECam/CTIO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/P.
