Earthlings will soon observe a rare sight: December 3, especially in the wee hours in the northern hemisphere can see a gigantic glowing comet tail Eason reports.
For scientists
same great interest is the passage of the comet through the solar corona, which will take place on November 28. This happens very rarely. At some point, Eason will be just a million kilometers from the Sun’s surface – 150 times closer than the Earth.
According to the calculations of astronomers, gravity will increase the speed of a comet lights up to 380 kilometers per second, and the sun’s rays heat the core. Some experts predict that the comet will be visible even in the daytime.
Comet Eason was opened in September 2012 two Russian astronomers using a reflecting telescope installed in the observatory in the vicinity of Kislovodsk. At that time she was still beyond the orbit of Jupiter, but then struck scientists unprecedented brightness.
Dr. Matthew Knight of the Lowell Observatory in Arizona, watching the comet Eason over the last year, said that there are three possibilities fate space alien. In the first case it will happen the same as the comet Lovejoy in autumn 2011: solar attraction tear it apart. The second option was implemented in the case of comet Encke, which quickly evaporated. However, scientists and amateur astronomers are hoping for a third outcome: like a comet Ikeya-Seki, also passed through the crown in 1965, Eason survive a dangerous neighborhood, but emit sparkling in the sunlight gaseous tail length of several million kilometers.
