It's OK, guys. It looks like interstellar comet Borisov will survive its encounter with our solar system after all.  'Earlier this year, a comet that wandered into the Solar System from a distant star appeared to have met its demise when it started to break apart. But appearances can be deceiving, and a new analysis of 2I/Borisov's fragmentation has found that the main body of the comet will survive its encounter with the Solar System. It's a win-win situation. The comet did partially break up, which means scientists can analyse the debris from its interior to try to understand its composition; and the icy space rock's epic journey across the galaxy will continue on.' "Our observations reveal that the outburst and splitting of the nucleus are minor events involving a negligible fraction of the total mass," they wrote in a new paper, which is available on the pre-print server arXiv. "2I/Borisov will survive its passage through the planetary region largely unscathed." www.sciencealert.com/interstellar-comet-2i-borisov-may-survive-its-solar-system-visit-after-all |
