Before it reaches Mars - at some 230 million miles away from the sun - the radiation of the sun begins to cook off the frozen water ice directly into gas. This is called sublimation. It is the first step toward breaking the comet apart. If it survives this, the intense radiation and pressure closer to the sun could destroy it altogether.Animators at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. created this short movie showing how the sun can cook a comet. Such a journey is currently being made by Comet ISON. It began its trip from the Oort cloud region of our solar system and is now traveling toward the sun. The comet will reach its closest approach to the sun on Thanksgiving Day — Nov. 28, 2013 — skimming just 730,000 miles above the sun’s surface. If it comes around the sun without breaking up, the comet will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere with the naked eye, and from what we see now, ISON is predicted to be a particularly bright and beautiful comet. Even if the comet does not survive, tracking its journey will help scientists understand what the comet is made of, how it reacts to its environment, and what this explains about the origins of the solar system. Closer to the sun, watching how the comet and its tail interact with the vast solar atmosphere can teach scientists more about the sun itself. || ", "hits": 73 }, { "id": 30463, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30463/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2013-10-23T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Comet ISON's Dance Among the Stars", "description": "There is a “new” comet in our neighborhood. Discovered in September 2012 by two Russian scientists, it has officially been designated as C2012/S1, but the world has come to know it as comet ISON—an acronym for the Russian International Science Observation Network through which it was discovered. Here, the comet looks like a bright white smudge [top right] among other colorful distant stars and galaxies on a canvas that depicts interstellar space. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope observed ISON on April 30, 2013, as it passed near the orbit of Jupiter. The resulting image, shown here, combines observations from two Hubble filters and is a simulation of what our eyes, with their ability to dynamically adjust to brighter and fainter objects, would see if we could look up at the heavens with the resolution of Hubble. One filter lets in red light, represented as faint red shades, while the other filter lets in a greenish-yellow light, represented as faint blue shades. In general, faint red objects are older and more evolved than blue objects—this is true both for the crosshair-spiked stars and the smaller and dimmer smudges of distant galaxies. This newly discovered comet is believed to have originated in the Oort Cloud—a “source region” for many comets, located on the fringe of the solar system. Scientists believe that ISON is making its very first trek toward the sun, and its first known visit will be an extremely close encounter—making the potential for new discovery very high.Used in 2014 SMD Calendar. || ", "hits": 27 }, { "id": 11188, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11188/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2013-02-21T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "It Came From Oort", "description": "Comet Pan-STARRS may soon be visible to the naked eye. Scientists predict this icy body will be observable in the night sky next month as it loops around the sun and passes within 100 million miles of our planet. The comet is thought to have come from a distant region of space, beyond Pluto, known as the Oort cloud. Back in Oort, it was just another hunk of floating cosmic debris—a frozen cocktail of volatile gases and stellar dust. But as the object neared the inner solar system, heat and energy from the sun transformed its anatomy, adding a long tail to its defunct shape. The best time to see Comet Pan-STARRS is in mid-March, when it will appear in the western sky just after sunset.
