Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko was born in the Kuiper belt.
Astronomers were able to find deposits of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
According to experts, this celestial body appeared on the outskirts of the Solar system and initially moved between Neptune and Pluto.
About the discovery of the birthplace of the comet experts told the conference EPSC-DPS in Pasadena. According to scientists, the details of that are a consequence of computer modeling and simulation of the motion of the comet in its own orbit formed. The team was able to determine the cyclical trajectory of a celestial body, which he holds.
Immediately after the appearance of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko was moving between Neptune and Pluto, periodically changing a trajectory towards the Sun. Over time it has changed significantly, due to which a heavenly body headed towards Earth. Using the information from the probe Rozetta was also able to determine that the comet change trajectory due to the reactions occurring in its core.
