A comet nicknamed the “Halloween comet” has fallen apart just before Halloween.
NASA confirmed that its spacecraft captured the comet, called C/2024 S1, breaking into pieces as it zoomed too close to the sun this week.
The comet was first discovered in September by a telescope in Hawaii, and many astronomers hoped it would be visible during Halloween. However, the heat and gravity from the sun caused the comet to disintegrate before it could be seen from Earth.
NASA, along with the European Space Agency, observed the comet’s final moments using a space-based observatory. Scientists believe this comet is part of a group that flies very close to the sun, making them difficult to survive.
Even though the “Halloween comet” won’t appear in the night sky, astronomers are continuing to study comets like it to understand how these space objects behave near the sun.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
