Hubble snaps to the latest Comet images

Hubble catches Comet air image

This week, scientists say the Hubble Space Telescope captured from the temple 1 Comet Comet nucleus emits volatile a dust.

Scientists in a statement said that the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration on July 4 will launch depth impact, cosmic Comet probe impact this. This unit is dust flow will be astronomers on July 4 can see a preview of the scene, it allows a human has the opportunity to see a comet in the kernel.

This time comet impact may be in the temple, the surface is similar to the plume.

Hubble telescope is the Comet at a distance of 75 million miles distant shot to this scenario. At the same time, from orbital telescopes see image and impact on the depth, in accelerated dashed to comets, the close distance to the picture.

These two pieces of the Hubble telescope on June 14, the captured picture before and after seven hours apart. A picture is taken before the Comet in eruption scenarios; while another is being filmed, the eruption of the flow of air has 1400 miles long.

Typically, the comet's eruption are very active, but astronomers have not found the cause. This may be due to the temple, in proximity to the Sun, the heat is rising of the comet's surface crust split so that the original be attract dust and other escape.

Another theory is that this is due to the comet's surface following gas heating and pressure part of Comet hard shell increased and away from the Comet nucleus, which is part of the hard shell may soon crumbled into a fine dust particles, thus forming the fan airflow.

Astronomers hope July 4 crash can cause the release of more attractive by the comet to raw materials, within which the material is in the billions of years ago.

Comets are made up of ice and rock, often referred to as "dirty snowball".
