Recently, about the largest comet ever sun Oort clouds reaching from outside the solar system.
Astronomers recently featured a close-up of the comet, called C/2014 UN271, flying powerful in the depths Atacama Large Millimeter/Submm Array (ALMA) Radio telescope in Chile.
According to the National Radio Observatory (NRAO), the icy giant is 85 miles away, more than 10 times the amount of any known comet.
New observations by astronomers discovering comets suggest that jets of carbon monoxide gas erupt from the comet’s solid ice core, NRAO reports.

Researchers use Alma to find comets in deep space Near Neptune According to the release of NRAO, it is about 17 times the distance between the sun and the earth.
Using the high sensitivity and resolution of the ALMA telescope, researchers were able to focus on carbon monoxide and the heat emitted from comets.

Nathan Roth of American University and NASA GODDARD Space The Flight Center, the lead author of the study, published in a letter from Astrophysics, discusses how this can help researchers understand the work of the frozen rock stabbing in space.
“These measurements give us an idea of how this huge and cold world works,” Ross said. “We see explosive beyond style patterns that raise new questions about the comet’s journey toward the inner solar system.”
Using previous ALMA observations and these latest findings, researchers were able to measure comets. They measured the heat signal to find the size and amount of dust that the comet surrounds its core.

Researchers believe that as C/2014 UN271 gets closer to sunlight, they will see more frozen gases start to evaporate the comet’s Titan. This may provide researchers with more information about the original composition of this cold giant.
Researchers also hope this will better understand Solar system.
