Scientists have suggested that the comet consists of so-called “primary matter”.
German astronomers from the European southern Observatory in Garching bei münchen are going to study an unusual comet C/2014 S3, which has no tail and is sent at the moment to the Ground.
Stone’s body was ejected from the Oort cloud. Presumably, the comet in its chemical composition as close as possible to the earth.
Unique comet C/2014 S3, do not have the traditional tail of gas and dust is sent into the present from the Oort cloud to the Ground. Astrophysics from the European southern Observatory in Garching bei münchen are going to carefully study the space object, consisting, according to scientists from the “earth” material. Presumably, the comet consists of rocks such as asteroids, that is, for the most part made up of silicon, iron and magnesium. Earth also is composed of similar materials, which allows astronomers to infer the probability of formation of this comet in the depths of the Solar system.
At the dawn of the formation of all the planets in our Solar system gas giants moving in the direction of the star caused the ejection of C/2014 S3 on the outskirts of the planetary system in the Oort cloud, where cosmic body contained more than 4 billion years. The study of this unique comet will help researchers to understand the stages of formation of the Solar system, planetary motion, and to uncover the secrets of the primordial matter from which all the planets were formed inside the cluster, reports Science Advances.
Because the comet has in its composition of ice, when heated by the Sun heavenly wanderer is not a characteristic tail. A complete revolution around hot stars C/2014 S3 makes for 860 years.
