EPS #2 – Comets,the least predictable members of the solar system!
මේ සතියේ අප සාකච්චා කරන්නේලුලින් හෙවත් හරිත ධූමකේතුව සහ බ්රහස්පති වෙත පතිත වූ ෂූමාකර් ලෙවි 9 පිළිබදවය.
ධූමකේතුවක් යනු කිලිටි හිමබෝලයකි. එය සූර්යයා අසලට පැමිණෙන විට එහි ඇති අයිස් වාශ්ප වන අතර එය දර්ශණීය වල්ගයක් ලෙස දිස් වේ.
This week we are discussing about comets in general,Including some interesting stuff about Comet lulin and the historical event of Jupiter and comet shoemaker-Levy9(the first direct observation of an extraterrestrial collision of solar system objects)
All in all a comet is a dirty ice-ball 🙂 and is never more than a few kilometers across.When the comet is heated,as it nears the sun,the ices in the nucleus start to evaporate,so that the comet devolopes a head or coma,which may be huge. there may be one or more tails,though many small comets never produce tails of any sort.
