“Devil Comet” which is 3 times bigger than Mt Everest will not hit earth as it will pass by and continue its 71 year orbit

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that “Devil Comet” which is 3 times bigger than Mt Everest will not hit earth as it will pass by and continue its 71 year orbit.

Amid an already scary atmosphere, the scientific community has unveiled an extraordinary development – a formidable “horned” comet, bigger than Mount Everest in size, has fractured and is hurtling ominously towards our planet.

For context, the iconic Mount Everest, revered as the highest mountain on Earth, rises to a towering height of 29,029 feet, roughly spanning 5.5 miles. This was the comet’s second explosion in the past four months, with the previous one happening in July, as per the Science Times.

Even with 12P’s foreboding path and structure, there’s no call for alarm for “Deep Impact” at this moment. This cosmic wanderer, with its 71-year orbit around the sun, won’t come closest to Earth until 2024 when it will become observable without the aid of any technical instruments.

Afterwards, the comet will be flung back into the solar system, not to reappear until its cosmic return in the year 2095.

Scientists have announced that a comet is hurtling towards Earth, much larger than Mount Everest. In fact, it’s three times bigger. They call it the “Devil Comet” because it looks like it has horns. 

This enormous comet known as 12P/Pons-Brooks might be visible without a telescope as it gets closer to Earth, they said.

Devil Comet: Should you be worried?

Don’t worry about a big collision with Comet 12P just yet. Scientists say it won’t get really close to Earth until 2024, when we can see it without a telescope. After that, it will return to space and won’t come close to us again until 2095.

According to Space Weather, all comets, including 12P, have a hard centre composed of a mix of gas dust and ice. The fact that 12P contains a lot more ice and gas inside its core than most other comets distinguishes it.

According to Live Science, the explosive event, originating from the cryovolcanic comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, measures an astounding 18.6 miles in diameter, equivalent to the size of a modest urban settlement like a city.

All you need to know about the Devil Comet

On October 5 and October 7, the Devil Comet erupted. This event provided astronomers with extra footage that revealed two horns emerging from the comet, according to the New York Post (NYT).

The comet is called a cryovolcanic, meaning it’s a cold volcano. It’s about 30 kilometres wide. Some experts joked that its strange shape makes it look like a spaceship from a science fiction story, like the Millennium Falcon from ‘Star Wars.’
