Comets twins will fly close to Earth early next week. Discovered and a half months ago, the comet perfectly safe.
The sensational statement by scientists about the discovery of two comets, which they did at the end of January, continues to evolve. Another news is that the comet will pass by literally “tightly” with our planet and may even cause meteor showers in some areas.
Prior to the passage of the first comet remained only a day, and some residents will be able to see celestial body even without special telescopes and other devices. The second comet is behind another day and the day after tomorrow will be visible.
It should be emphasized that the comets were discovered by chance during a research telescope in Hawaii system. They are not only identical in size or route, but also in composition. There is speculation that the heavenly bodies could be integral and crack after impact.
It is noteworthy that this is the third case of the passage of comets so close to the planet in the history of civilization. Prior to this celestial body recorded in 1770, the year, and in 1983 it. Astronomers say that the flight path does not affect the planet and is completely safe for humans. The only consequence may be a small meteor showers in some areas.
