Two Comets Across the Earth in This Year

Pan-STARRS comet and comet ison will across the earth this year

During the year 2013 the Earth likely to see two shows that comets are comets Pan-STARRS will cross the Earth in March and comets Ison eight months later.

Ison comet newly discovered  will fly 1.9 million miles from the center of the Sun on 28 November 2013, says astronomer Donald Yeomans, head of Near Earth Object United States Space Agency (NASA) in California, as quoted by Reuters.

When a comet approaches, the Sun's heat will evaporate the ice on the body of the comet, creating what is often called the tail a spectacular night sky as seen from Earth without a telescope or binoculars in October 2013 until January 2014 if it has managed to survive through the Sun.

"Comets Ison ... could be the brightest comet seen in several generations - even brighter than the full moon," wrote British astronomer David Whitehouse, in The Independent.

Comets Ison can  shattered while close to the sun and can fail to form particles of the tail can be seen from Earth.

Astronomical objects such as comets come from the Oort Cloud Ison, a group of igneous rock and ice around the sun at a distance of 50 thousand times farther from Earth's orbit.

On 21 September 2012, two amateur astronomers from Russia captures the image of a comet with a telescope that is part of the International Scientific Optical Network (Ison), which is then used as the name of the comet.

"These objects are slow and have a unique movement. But initially we were not sure this is a comet because the scale of the drawing is quite small," said astronomer Artyom Novichonok, one of the inventors.

Novichonok and colleagues, Vitali Nevski, and then monitored again using larger telescopes in Maidanak Observatory in Uzbekistan.

Astronomers others do the same and confirmed that objects beyond the orbit of Jupiter in the constellation of Cancer was indeed a comet.

Ison path similar to comet comets that cross the Earth in 1680, a very bright comet tail can be reported to be seen in the daytime.

Ison has projected comet orbit similar to a comet paths crossed in 1680 that scientists were wondering if this is a fraction of the planet. Source : Republika.co.id
