C/2022 E3(ZTF) Comet

  • Recently discovered (by Palomar Observatory, USA) Comet will appear for the first time in 50,000 years.
  • Comets are frozen leftovers from formation of solar system (4.6 billion years ago) composed of dust, rock, and ices.
  • When a comet’s orbit brings it close to Sun, it heats up and spews dust and gases (forming a tail) into a giant glowing head larger than most planets.
  • Billions of comets are orbiting our Sun in Kuiper Belt (called short-period comets) and even more distant Oort Cloud (called long-period comets).
