The Earth hit by a Comet
What is a Comet? According to the definitions given by various space
research organizations, a comet is a celatial body that travels in an
elliptical orbit around the sun. Comet consists of nucleus and tail. The
nucleus is made of ice, dust and various frozen gases. When it comes
near the vicinity of its star which it orbits around ,the nucleus frozen
contents melts -vaporizes . Due to immense velocity and solar winds
they get pushed away from the nucleus of the comet forming tail. Due to
heat the particles get ionized (charged due to heat of the sun) cause
its tail to glow. Sometimes comets crash into the planets when their
orbits cross eachother. The most famous example being the Shoemaker Levy
9 that crashed intoJupiter.

Hallays Comet Source o

f Life on Earth A team of Tel Aviv University led by Professor Akiva
Bar-Nun carried out study and found out that comets were the source of
missing ingredients needed for Life on Earth’s primodial Soup . “When
comets slammed into Earth through the atmosphere about four billion
years ago, they delivered a payload of organic materials to the young
Earth, adding materials that combined with Earth’s own large reservoir
of organics and led to the emergence of life,” Prof Bar-Nun said. Comet

The
Comet missed hitting earth in1883 The Comet Lovejoy formerly known as
C/2014Q2 The comet was discovered on Aug. 17, 2014 by amateur astronomer
Terry Lovejoy. It is the fifth comet he has discovered since 2007

Comet Lovejoy This comet is already been visible for those living in southern hemisphere…as per
EarthSky.org. For some people it is visible with naked eye, while to some by Telescopes etc.

Comet 1P A British scientist called Edmond Halley, who observed the
comet in 1682, was the first person to establish its periodic
reappearance after every 75 – 76 years. Comets have fascinated Humans
right from the beginning of our existence. Now the researchers of today
say that the chemical organic components of the Comets and that of Young
Earths organic components combination have produced the Life on Earth.
The Scientist of Tel Aviv University have succeeded in simulating the
ice components of Comets in lab… From where have we emerged is getting
exciting…
