This Giant Comet Is Literally Exploding

Did you hear about the monster comet out past Neptune? Astronomers just caught C/2014 UN271 (aka Bernardinelli-Bernstein), the biggest comet ever found from the Oort Cloud, erupting with wild jets of gas! It’s 10x bigger than your average comet and is spewing carbon monoxide as it barrels toward the sun. Scientists say this is the first time they’ve seen such explosive activity so far from the sun—basically, we’re getting a sneak peek at how these icy giants work before they even hit the inner solar system. Space drama, anyone? #SpaceNews #CometWatch #Astronomy #Science
