The Hubble Space Telescope photographed Temple 1 Comet Comet pictures

Xinhua NET, Washington, d.c. June 27 Mar (reporter curl junya) United States astronomer 27, reported that the Hubble Space Telescope took Temple 1 Comet Comet's photos. The photo shows from Comet unstable ice core spray out of the dust flow up to 2200 km.

According to the associated press reported, astronomers say NASA deep impact "Comet" detector is quick to temple No.1, in their view, when the "deep impact" on 4 July and Temple meet emission, 1 detector "ammunition" Tempel, raises similar dust jet stream. People in the Western hemisphere of the Earth available open hole saw this hit wonders.

Astronomers say that the "depth" with striking camera Temple 1 close-up photos and the Hubble Space Telescope photographs have complementary effects. Temple 1 Comet pictures is the Hubble space telescope on 14 June in its 1.2 billion kilometres away.

Comet fat phenomenon is widespread, but astronomers have not clearly lead the cause of this phenomenon. Astronomers believe that when the Comet is very close to the Sun, the surface of a comet nucleus and begin to evaporate due to heating, vaporization of particle entrainment a tiny grains of sand, formed a comet of gas and dust.

Comet is considered by the ice and rock composed of loose "dirty snowball", in the outer solar system cold zone. Temple 1, formed in billions of years ago. Astronomers hope 4 July impact can release a temple 1 original material, internal, and help them deepen their understanding of the formation of the solar system.
